Clint Eastwood is an American actor, film director and politician. He was born in 1930 in San Francisco. After high school, he worked as a lumberjack, a service station attendant, and served in the Army. In 1955, he went to Hollywood where he played bit parts in films like Francis in the Navy and Revenge of the Creature In 1958, his career was further established when he was offered a significant part in the TV western series Rawhide, which ran until 1965. Eastwood then went to Italy and starred in a trio of Sergio Leone westerns known for their emphasis on violence - A Fistful of Dollars, For a Few Dollars More, and The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly. Returning to Hollywood, Eastwoodenhanced his reputation even more as a lean, no-nonsense, independent tough guy. His brutish Dirty Harry in 1971 and some sequels perhaps best exemplified this image. However, Eastwood's violent image mellowed in the late 1970s and early 1980s, when he starred in several action comedies, such as Every Which Way But Loose, Any Which Way You Can, and Bronco Billy. In 1992 he won an Academy Award for best Director for his film 'Unforgiven'. Research Clint Eastwood
