Items related to Clint Eastwood
The first full account of one of the most remarkable careers in modern Hollywood, written with Clint Eastwood's full co-operation and based on extensive interviews with Eastwood, his friends, family and colleagues. From the moment he achieved stardom over thirty years ago in the 'Spaghetti Westerns' of Sergio Leone, Clint Eastwood has remained private, even while becoming the most durably popular international star of our era and one of America's most significant directors. His unique career - he has directed sixteen films and produced almost everything he's done for 25 years - informed by personal and professional values rare in modern Hollywood.

Review:
In 1992, when Unforgiven won director/star Eastwood the critical respect that had eluded him for a quarter-century, film critic Schickel was already a friend of 15 years. Their relationship, and a series of in-depth interviews conducted over five years, gives this biography a pleasing intimacy. Schickel believes Eastwood "has taken the presentation of the heroic male into country he has not previously ridden"; he makes a strong case for that idea in an admiring(but not fawning) book that lays the foundation for more objective works in the future. --Christine Buttery
About the Author:
Richard Schickel has been reviewing movies--first for Life, then for Time--for exactly as long as Clint Eastwood has been starring in them. He is the author of many books about film and filmmakers, among them The Disney Version, the definitive study of Walt Disney and his works; D. W. Griffith: An American Life, which won the British Film Institute Book Prize; and The Men Who Made the Movies, on the directors of the classic Hollywood age. For more than two decades he has been making television documentaries, mainly about the history of movies. He has held a Guggenheim Fellowship and has taught film history and criticism at Yale and USC. He lives in Los Angeles.
