This actor is still called the main cowboy of Hollywood. Possessing classical external data, which are inherent in people who are not verbose and decisive, Clint Eastwood managed to rationally manage his natural abilities.
Childhood and youth
Eastwood Jr.'s childhood coincided with the Great Depression. All America was looking for a way out of this situation. Industrial enterprises were closed. Fertile fields were not well-groomed and overgrown with weeds. In search of a better life, the Eastwood family, as they say, wandered along the western coast of the country. And only at the end of this difficult decade, in 1940, they settled in one of the cities of the state of California. Here in the town of Piedmont, Clint went to school and made friends with whom he interacted over the years.
The future actor was born on May 31, 1930 in a simple American family. Parents, Protestants by religion, at that time lived in the famous city of San Francisco. My father worked at a steel plant. The mother worked in a branch of an electronic device company. The boy received a strict upbringing within the framework of the current religious norms. Clint graduated from technical school in 1948. During his studies, he attended drama school and independently learned to play the piano. Two years before being drafted into the army, the young man worked at a gas station, and in the evenings he worked as a pianoper in bars and clubs.
Creative way
After serving his due date, Clint went to Los Angeles, where he was invited by the assistant of the famous director Arthur Lubin. At first, the novice actor got roles in episodes and extras. The films "Revenge of the Beast", "Francis in the Navy", "Remove All Boats" were released on the screens, but the young performer remained in obscurity. It was only after CBS began showing the series Rawhide Lash that Eastwood felt famous. As a cowboy, he felt relaxed and organic.
Clint Eastwood gained worldwide fame thanks to many years of collaboration with director Sergio Leone. Viewers and critics portrayed the actor as a brave and determined "good guy with a gun." In 1968, Eastwood created his own film studio and began directing. Since that time, he starred only in those projects that he himself created. Clint wrote scripts, cast and composed music. And he did it all brilliantly.
Recognition and privacy
Clint Eastwood's work and social activities have received many awards and prizes. In order not to crumple the narrative, it is enough to note that the director received his next Oscar in the eighth decade of his active life. He is twice holder of the French Order of Arts and Letters.
Clint Eastwood's personal life deserves a separate description. He was formally married twice. The director has seven children. Eastwood continues to pursue his work, despite his advanced age. This year he turned 90 years old.
