Clint : The Life and Legend

About this book

One of the most revealing and hard-hitting biographies of a Hollywood film star in recent times this book discloses the controversial truth about Clint Eastwood and dispels the carefully preserved mysteries of his past.For nearly 30 years Clint has topped the box-office again and again. Like so many of the characters he plays typified perhaps by The Man With No Name Clint Eastwood is secretive about himself his past and his private life. Now approaching 70 he has tended to play characters who are cold hard and morally from Sergio Leones spaghetti westerns (A Fistful of Dollars For a Few Dollars More and The Good The Bad and The Ugly) through Hang Em High and Dirty Harry to Pale Rider and Unforgiven.Alternately stroking and intimidating the press Clint Eastwood has always been an arch of women (he is a notorious philanderer and has at least 7 children out of wedlock) friends and colleagues publicity and finance. Yet in a violent sometimes bewildering age perhaps no star is more the hero to his a symbol of simple solutions law and order de-fashioned values and no-bullshit rebellion against bureaucracy.
