Clint Eastwood will celebrate his seventieth birthday in May of the new millennium. The stereotypes of old age have seemed to pass him by though. He starred in True Crime earlier this year and has two other films slated for release in 2000.

Eastwood started his film career in the 1960's and has since moved into directing and producing. His first few films were primarily appreciated in Europe until he made an impression in the U.S. in A Fistful of Dollars. Throughout his career, Eastwood's name has been tied to over seventy films. Yet, he does not show signs of slowing down.

Some of Eastwood's Unforgettable Films:

True Crime (1999), Any Which Way You Can (1980), Absolute Power (1997), The Outlaw Josey Wales (1976), Bridges of Madison County (1995), High Plains Drifter (1972), A Perfect World (1993), Dirty Harry (1971), In the Line of Fire (1993), Paint Your Wagon (1969), Unforgiven (1992), Two Mules for Sister Sarah (1969), The Rookie (1990), Hang 'em High (1967), Pale Rider (1985), Firefox (1982)

Look son, being a good shot, being quick with a pistol, that don't do no harm, but it don't mean much next to being cool-headed. A man who will keep his head and not get rattled under fire, like as not, he'll kill ya. It ain't so easy to shoot a man anyhow...
