Date of Birth: 31/05/1930
Born 31.5.1930 in San Francisco.
The fact that his young years, Clint Eastwood dedicated to sport and even a long time thinking about how to become a professional athlete, but his character has left its mark. In any case, and becoming an actor, he retained the qualities necessary for the sportsman: the desire to always and everywhere be the first, perseverance, stubbornness and hard work. Lean figure, . strong-willed person with a slightly narrowed cold gray-blue eyes, . firmly compressed mouth - so his first appearance on the screen in 1954, . when it became clear, , . and all other places, . except the first, . Eastwood was not satisfied, however, . 40-week contract with the studio "Yuniversl", . signed by him, . also did not promise specific laurels,
. It does not even mention the names provided in the credits, and it was only on the performance of bit parts, sometimes even without words. And today, perhaps the only rigorous filmography will be able to transfer the first picture, with the participation of the actor: so they went unnoticed: "Revenge of the Beast" (1955), "Francis serves in the Navy" (1955), "Never say goodbye" (1956), etc.. Debut in 1956 on television and was triumphant: small roles in several serials helped him just to make ends meet. And if we continue the comparison with sports, then we can say that the first ten years of his life in the Eastwood film "trained" and gain experience, especially since the actor's special education had no.
First success in his film career was the invitation of Italian director Sergio Leone on the role of the Stranger in the film "A Fistful of Dollars". Westerns America will not surprise. After all - a purely American genre. But the fact is that the Italian Leone was its vision of the theme, radically different from the traditional American view. Noble romance in his films "A Fistful of Dollars" (1964), "For a few extra dollars" (1965), "The Good, the Bad and the Ugly" (1966) became a self-seeking adventurers.
Eastwood by then turned 34 пЁпЎпЄп°. And luck has finally smiled at him. Rigidity, obstinacy, and even an obsession, which are peculiar to his character in life, proved to be a more appropriate. "Stranger" became noticeable success of the actor, and has since become the name of Eastwood's reputation. After several anadromous tapes, in which mainly operated theme "stranger", Eastwood is suitable for the role, which became central for him - Harry Kellahena - lone policeman, who selflessly fighting with the underworld.

The emergence of a strong personality on the screen, nothing and no one is afraid and able to protect people from the threats of the criminal world, even at the cost of violating the law (which does not fulfill this goal), was received with enthusiasm by the public. The passion that you put Eastwood in the title role, won over. And the actor himself did not hide his sympathy for the hero, being a staunch conservative by nature, a supporter of tough measures. It is not surprising that the film had continued, and Harry Kellahen "returned" in the film "is all about" Magnum "(1973)," The Punisher "(1976)," Sudden Impact "(1983)," Betting on the date of death "(1988).
Roles resolute men, unshakable self-righteousness and able to prove it, especially successful with the actor. Practically most of his work in film - a variation of the human type. Eastwood himself said that just such heroes of his favor. Actor sincere in this, and perhaps it is because his characters are convincing, and for the viewer. Frank Morris - a legendary criminal, . which failed unprecedented escape from the worst U.S. prisons ( "Escape from Alcatraz", . 1979); superagent Mitchell Grant ( "Fire Fox", . 1982), . assiduous campaigner Thomas Hayuey ( "Hard pass", . 1986) - Eastwood everywhere recognizable, . what, . however, . does not spoil its relations with the public,
. The audience knows what to expect from this actor, and he does not deceive the hopes audiences.
