Clint Eastwood saved a choking man's life with the Heimlich maneuver at a party on the eve of the AT&T Pebble Beach National Pro-Am tournament Wednesday night at the Monterey Conference Center.
The 83-year-old actor administered the Heimlich maneuver to tournament director Steve John, 50, who was choking on a piece of cheese, The Associated Press reported.

''I was drinking water and eating these little appetizers, threw down a piece of cheese and it just didn't work,'' John said Friday. ''I was looking at him and couldn't breathe. He recognized it immediately and saved my life.''
A former amateur contestant and now chairman of the Monterey Peninsula Foundation, Eastwood is a prominent figure at the AT&T Pebble Beach National Pro-Am who frequently presents the trophy to the winner. He has raised over $100 million for charity as the host of the 72-hole PGA Tour championship, the AP noted.

Should Doc Dirty be a reformed gunslinger or just a cantankerous saver of those who probably shouldn’t be?

I’ll tell u something that didn’t become news on coastal Calif:
At the Canyon Del Rey Safeway a drunk Vietnamese guy was beating up his GF, who was 8 months pregnant. The black meat cutter didn’t like that, and put a stop to it, punching out the BF. The cops came and arrested the perp.
What did Safeway do? They FIRED their meat-cutter.
A local talkshow host yelled about it on KSCO, a local station. Well, it turns out the host is PALS with Clint, who regularly listens, because he lives in this area.
Clint Eastwood got so mad that he called up Safeway HQ, which is in Pleasanton, Calif, and he balled out the CEO.
And the meat-cutter got HIRED BACK..!
THAT IS THE KIND OF GUY CLINT EASTWOOD IS.

"I can't believe I'm 202 pounds and he threw me up in the air three times," John added, according to the AP. Lucky he didn't break your ribs.

Good job, Mr. Eastwood.
Clint should play a doc and a patient could be Eli Wallach (he’s 98). A shame Lee Van Cleef isn’t still with us, he could be a patient also. :-)
