At 96 years old, Clint Eastwood has had one of the most illustrious careers in Hollywood.
Born in San Francisco on May 31, 1930, Eastwood first served in the army before he ventured into acting. He got his big break in 1959, starring as Rowdy Yates on CBS' Rawhide and his career took off from there. Throughout his 66-year-long career, Eastwood has starred in classics such as Escape from Alcatraz, Dirty Harry, Mystic River, Million Dollar Baby, Bridges of Madison County and has directed a staggering 40 films, including American Sniper, Heartbreak Ridge, Flags of Our Fathers and more.
Eastwood's personal life is also remarkable. The actor has been married twice and shares eight children with six women. His son Scott and daughter Francesca have even followed in his acting footsteps, while several of his other kids have made their mark behind the scenes.

"The Beguiled" was a very bizarre movie as well.
.
Bow, Fist to Palm.
His Acting Fu is Excellent!
” this is a .44 magnum, the most powerful hand gun in the world. It’ll blow your head clean off”. 😉
He basically plays John Huston.
One scene where he attempts to define a crime versus a sin. It’s unforgettable.
when he was a kid, he made money playing piano jazz
there is a movie in which he plays piano (Honky Tonk Man?) and it is Clint playing, not dubbed
yep
a very hot man who has aged well
