Een aantal Bazen Feiten over Held Clint Eastwood

In al mijn Nobelheid neem ik de tijd en moeite om een aantal Bazen Feiten over de Held Clint Eastwood met jullie te delen.

---
He wore the same poncho, without ever having washed it, in all three of his "Man with No Name" Westerns.

Elected mayor of Carmel-by-the-Sea, California. It has often been claimed that he ran for office as a Republican. In fact, although he was registered as a Republican in California, the position of mayor is non-partisan. [1986]

Got his role in "Rawhide" (1959) while visiting a friend at the CBS lot when a studio exec spotted him because he "looked like a cowboy."

Worked as a lifeguard and swimming instructor for the US Army (1950-1954).

Has 7 children by 5 different women: Kimber Eastwood (born 17 June 1964) with Roxanne Tunis, Kyle Eastwood (born 19 May 1968) and Alison Eastwood (born 22 May 1972) with Maggie Johnson, Scott Eastwood (born 21 March 1986) and Kathryn Eastwood (born 2 February 1988) with Jacelyn Reeves, Francesca Fisher-Eastwood (born 7 August 1993) with Frances Fisher, and Morgan Eastwood (born 12 December 1996) with Dina Eastwood.

On February 27, 2005, at age 74, he became the oldest person to win the Best Director Oscar for Million Dollar Baby (2004). His 96-year old mother was in attendance at the ceremony.

Some of his favorite movies are, The 39 Steps (1935), Sergeant York (1941), The Ox-Bow Incident (1943) and Chariots of Fire (1981).

Some of his favorite actors are Gary Cooper, Humphrey Bogart, Robert Mitchum and James Stewart.

He claims that he wound up getting the role in Sergio Leone's Per un pugno di dollari (1964) because James Coburn, to whom the role was originally offered, wanted $25,000. Eastwood accepted the role for $15,000.

His favorite movie is John Ford's How Green Was My Valley (1941).

Voted for Arnold Schwarzenegger as Governor of California in 2003 and 2006.

Fluent in Italian.

Used to shop at Market Basket a lot when it was still open.

Learned mountain climbing for The Eiger Sanction (1975) because he felt the scenes were too dangerous for him to pay a stuntman to do for him. He was the last climber up The Totem Pole in Monument Valley, and as part of the contract, the movie crew removed the pitons left by decades of other climbers. The scene where he was hanging off the mountain by a single rope was actually Eastwood, and not a stuntman.

An accomplished jazz pianist, he performs much of the music for his movies, including the scene in the bar in In the Line of Fire (1993).

Dislikes hunting, saying that he doesn't enjoy killing an animal for no reason.

While serving in the Army during the Korean War, he survived a plane crash landing into the Pacific, north of San Francisco, and swam two miles to shore. Because he had to testify about the incident, he was not sent to Korea with his unit.

Was considered for the role of Harmonica in C'era una volta il West (1968).

Sergio Leone asked him and his Il buono, il brutto, il cattivo. (1966) co-stars Eli Wallach and Lee Van Cleef to appear in _Once Upon A Time in the West (1972)_ (qvA). They all declined when they heard that their characters were going to be killed off in the first five minutes.
