 He is not just a living legend!He is always in enviably great shape!After all these long years of presence on the big screen, Clint is still "in the mood" to win Oscars!Brought into the world 75 years ago in the family of a steel worker from San Francisco, Clint does not accomplish his College business studies on account of his blossoming passion for acting. Listening to the music of his internal voice, Clint signs a contract with Universal Studios in 1954, earning 75 USD a week for playing small parts in B-grade movies like Revenge of the Creature (1955) and Tarantula (1955). His virtual breakthrough is the role in the notorious at that time western TV series "Rawhide" (1959), where Clint, in the role of Rowdy Yates, becomes the favorite character of millions of households throughout USA. What launched his name to the international fame horizon is the sequence of Sergio Leone westerns, in particular - "The Good, The Bad and The Ugly". Every following project that he engages with thereafter turns into success. Movies like Where Eagles Dare (1968), Paint Your Wagon (1969), Play Misty for Me (1971), Dirty Harry (1971), Joe Kidd (1972), Thunderbolt and Lightfoot (1974), Enforcer (1976), Sudden Impact (1983) represent classic samples of the western genre. Legendary tough guy deals as good with directing as with acting! This is clearly substantiated by the two Oscars for Best Director in his career- for Unforgiven (1992) and for the female boxing drama Million Dollar Baby. His second Academy Award for directing in his career makes him the oldest winner of the yearned prize and confirms him as one of Hollywood's most talented filmmakers.
In personal life Clint is greatly productive as well, having seven children with two marriages behind his back. |
