I've actually met Clint Eastwood on several occasions. I worked with his wife, Dina, at my old news station in Salinas. That's my only true claim to fame aside of the time I interviewed Michael Caine here in Vegas, James Brown at the Monterey Blues Fest, and Paul McCartney at the opeining of Mirage's Cirque Du Soleil show, Love.
Clint was a totally cool guy every time I talked to him.

The man with no name Clint Eastwood is a legand who made great movies . One of my favorite are A fist full of dollers and pale rider .
Agreed, "Fist Full of Dollars" was badass.
As much as I like watching him in films, he is rather wooden in nearly everything. But we can ignore that
If you want "wooden" (the kind that CAN'T be ignored), look up Daphne Zuniga.

Clint is the man. The Man with No Name Trilogy is awesome.
My top five fave Eastwood flicks:
5. Dirty Harry - He's mad as hell & he's not gonna take it anymore, punk.
4. Bridges Of Madison County - He's lonely as hell & he's not gonna take it anymore, punk.
3. The Man With No Name series - It's hard to believe that there once a time when the cinematic world did not have a Man With No Name from which all other badass cowboy characters could be measured by, huh?
2. Unforgiven - The man, his gun & his lifetime regret. Basically, a depiction of what the Man With No Name's later years may have been like.
1. Million Dollar Baby - I genuinely believed that after Unforgiven, there wouldn't be any other films that could top the list of fave Clint Eastwood movies.
By the time Eastwood's character in this film tells Hillary Swank's character what the Gaelic "Mo Cuishle" phrase means, I knew that this movie had.
