Clint Eastwood remains a favorite
 |
This actor, film director, composer, and producer piqued my interest as a child portraying Rowdy Yates in Rawhide, which I watched with my father early on.
In my late teens and young adulthood it was Harry Callahan that kept me coming back for more.
Since then I have been keen for staying in touch with his work and he has afforded me countless hours of enjoyment for my infinitesimal trouble.
Some of my favorite examples of his work include Gran Torino, Space Cowboys, Unforgiven, The Dead Pool, Heartbreak Ridge, Pale Rider, and Firefox.
However, if you're ever entertaining me you certainly will be in good stead with anything he's done. I will sit, watch, enjoy, then praise your excellent theatrical taste!
Clint Eastwood served for two years as the mayor of Carmel-by-the-Sea, California after being elected in 1986.
In 2000 he received the Italian Venice Film Festival's Golden Lion award, honoring his lifetime achievements.
He has also received two of France's highest civilian honors, he received the Commander of the Ordre des Arts et des Lettres in 1994, and the Legion of Honour medal in 2007.
He has also won four academy awards but I'm afraid that the oscar just doesn't mean much in that leftist libtard reality they force upon the world anymore.
I'm sure he is happy to receive them, however and I certainly cannot begrudge him for an award which once was more than it is now.
He remains a tour de force in the world of entertainment with me and I will continue to follow his work as we grow older. He is 90 years old today. Happy Birthday to you !
