Go ahead, make his day!
The perpetually squinting marine-core-drill-sergeant-tough Eastwood has defined what it means to be a hard-hitting, merciless but ultimately fair and honest enforcer of justice, starting way back with his Italian Spaghetti-Western Movies like For a Fist Full of Dollars (1964).
He was born in San Francisco, CA on May 31, 1930.
His other tough-guy classics include HangEm High (1968), Kellys Heroes (1970), Magnum Force (1973), Unforgiven (1992), In The Line of Fire (1993), Play Misty For Me (1971), Dirty Harry (1971), Absolute Power (1997), Blood Work (2002) and Million Dollar Baby (2004).
Nominated for 5 times, he won an Academy Award in 1993 for Unforgiven and TWO awards in 2005 for Best Achievement in Directing for Million Dollar Baby (2004), and Best Motion Picture of the Year for Million Dollar Baby (2004) (shared with Albert S. Ruddy and Tom Rosenberg).
Incredibly, in the same year Eastwood was nominated for YET AN OTHER Oscar which he did not win that of Best Performance by an Actor in a Leading Role for Million Dollar Baby (2004).
