Had to share this with you today. A classic actor and director, Clint Eastwood turns 90 years old today. He is still making movies. Over 80 movies he acted in and some he also directed.
He will not verify how many children he has, but records show he has at least eight children, with five mothers.
In his younger days, Eastwood held a number of jobs, including lifeguard, paper carrier, grocery clerk, forest firefighter, and golf caddy. He was a lifeguard in the US Army in the 1950’s.
Eastwood composed the film scores of Mystic River, Million Dollar Baby, Flags of Our Fathers, Grace is Gone, Changeling, Hereafter, J. Edgar, and the original piano compositions for In the Line of Fire. He wrote and performed the song heard over the credits of Gran Torino and also co-wrote “Why Should I Care” with Carole Bayer Sager, a song recorded in 1999 by Diana Krall.
He has been outspoken about politics as well. Was once a Republican but now a Democrat.
Eastwood has held a lifelong distaste for tobacco and tobacco companies, and only smokes when required to do so by a film role. He has also been conscious of his health and fitness since he was a teenager, and practices healthy eating and daily meditation.
Maybe he has found the secret to longevity. Healthy eating and meditation. Now you know the rest of the story about this incredible actor, director, politician and musician.

Yes he has the right voice and look for his roles.
I enjoyed his 2018 movie called The Mule.

I didn’t love it but I liked it because it was a different role and he played it well.
i can understand that – not sure i was ready for the change when I watched it
Good information here , thank you Carol
You are very welcome. An iconic actor for sure.
Some very interesting facts that are new to me. I wasn’t very familiar with his personal life and biography.
He has more interesting facts over his 90 years. I didn’t know he was in the army in the 1950s.
God has certainly blessed him with a long life. The first movie I saw with Clint Eastwood was Play Misty for Me and I loved it even though it is a scary movie. I have it on video.
Yes indeed. And still making movies. Yes I like that one too. Have you seen his recent one (2018) called The Mule?
No, I have not seen The Mule but I will look it up online.
Thanks for sharing the information. Clint is my favorite actor. I’ve seen a lot of his movies.
You are welcome, that is good to know!
