I tried being reasonable, I didn't like it - Clint Eastwood

The man was born today in 1930, to Clinton Eastwood, Sr. and Margaret Ruth. The hospital nurse named him Samson. He was raised with his sister, Jean and he traveled a lot because of the nature of his father’s job. His family settled in California later. IN 1950, He started as a lifeguard for the United States army. In 1954 he started working at Universal Studio for $100 per week. At first, he was criticized for hissing his lines through his teeth – which became his renowned trademark. Although he smoked in the movies, he is a non-smoker in real life for 82 years.

This man has been cited as serial womanizer and repeatedly having affairs with several actresses, script analyst, dancer and a swimming champion. But he is married – for now – the second time!!! Besides women, he likes music, he can play piano and also a composer. He plays golf and invested in Pebble Beach Golf Link. He is the owner of an English-inspired pub Hog’s Breath Inn BUT he sold it and bought the Mission Ranch Hotel and Restaurant, it is in Carmel-by-the-sea. Did I mention he owns the Tehama Golf Club. According to a secret source, he also owns a lot of money which he cannot finish counting. We can believe the source because he flies to the studio – he owns a helicopter and the license to fly it. Finally, he has 10 Academy Award nominations and 4 Academy Awards.

Happy Birthday - Clinton Eastwood, Jr. AKA Clint Eastwood. We, your later generations, always look up to you, try to be the gun slinger (without the guns of course) and try to say the lines like you do. We appreciate your talent and cordially thank you for reveling that to us.
