THE POP EXPOSE – The Storied Career of Clint Eastwood!

Clint Eastwood was born in 1930 in San Francisco. He was nicknamed Samson when he was born because he weighed 11 lbs 6 ounces. Eastwood had a number of jobs in his youth such as a lifeguard, caddy, and a forest firefighter. Eastwood applied to Seattle University but ended up drafted by the Army during the Korean War. Eastwood got into acting in the 50s and exploded in the 70s and 80s with hot movies like “Dirty Harry”, Every Which Way but Loose, and “ Bronco Billy” which he starred in and directed. This wasn’t his first movie or last he directed and/or starred in.

Eastwood would continue working and add producing on several movies through the next 30 years. He has a number of hit movies such as “Million Dollar Baby”, Gran Torino, and his 2018 hit movie “Mule”. All of these above are awesome and some of my favorite movies of all time. Eastwood also made some television appearances back in the day. He was on shows such as Alford Hitchcock, Rawhide, and he even met Mr. Ed. Eastwood has won a number of awards over the years and is still going strong today acting, directing, and producing.

At 92 he shows no sign of stopping, he is one of a kind and there are so many awesome movies that he has been involved in over the past 67 years. I hope he stays strong and gives us more awesomeness, but I wouldn’t feel bad at all if this iconic cowboy just road off into the sunset.
