Happy Birthday Clint Eastwood

THEOn May 31st, the actor blows out 95 candles. A life in front of and behind the camera, between great successes and fiascos. The first role in 1955, the turning point in ’64 with Sergio Leone and the “Dollar Trilogy”. With spaghetti westerns he becomes Hollywood’s most beloved antihero. Gruff and with a brisk manner, he is recognizable by the impassive gaze that peeks out from under his hat. In ’93 he received 9 Oscar nominations for “Unforgiven” of which he was also the director, winning 4. His other great successes are “Mystic River”, “Gran Torino”, “Changelin”, “American Sniper”. Always considered a conservative, in his films he talks about racism and American identity. With “Million Dollar Baby”, a touching story of loyalty and trust between a boxer and her coach and wins 4 Oscars. The film allows him to talk about a world he loves very much: sport.
