Clint Eastwood ranks among the hardest-working men in show business. He’s also one of Hollywood’s longest-running icons, with a career spanning more than six decades. What began with bit parts in B-movies and TV shows led to a recurring role on the popular 1950s series “Rawhide,” followed by his big-screen breakout in Sergio Leone’s “A Fistful of Dollars.”
A spiritual successor to John Wayne, Eastwood’s gritty, laconic swagger redefined machismo for a new Hollywood era. He eventually became equally as respected for his accomplishments as a producer, director, and occasional composer.

Eastwood’s personal life and history are no less extraordinary. Before making it in Hollywood, he was a lumberjack, lifeguard, and firefighter. In his 20s, he survived an emergency plane landing by swimming ashore through shark-infested waters. He was the mayor of Carmel, California for two years in the mid-1980s. He talked to an empty chair at the 2012 Republican National Convention. Alongside his two marriages, eight (or more) children, and a slate of professional achievements, Eastwood has enjoyed a full life. And he’s still cranking out good films.
