Client Eastwood – Mini Bio
Go ahead, make his day! The perpetually squinting marine-core-drill-sergeant-tough Eastwood has defined what it means to be a hard-hitting, merciless but ultimately fair and honest enforcer of “justice,” starting way back with his Italian Spaghetti-Western movies like For a Fist Full of Dollars (1964). He was born in San Francisco, CA on May 31, 1930. His other tough-guy classics include Hang’Em High (1968), Kelly’s Heroes (1970), Magnum Force (1973), Unforgiven (1992), In The Line of Fire (1993), Play Misty For Me (1971), Dirty Harry (1971), Absolute Power (1997), Blood Work (2002) and Million Dollar Baby (2004). Nominated for 5 times, he won an Academy Award in 1993 for Unforgiven and TWO awards in 2005 – for Best Achievement in Directing for Million Dollar Baby (2004), and Best Motion Picture of the Year for Million Dollar Baby (2004) (shared with Albert S. Ruddy and Tom Rosenberg). Incredibly, in the same year Eastwood was nominated for YET ANOTHER Oscar which he did not win – that of Best Performance by an Actor in a Leading Role for Million Dollar Baby (2004). Did you know these trivia facts about Eastwood? 1) His father was a steel worker. 2) He served for a term as the Mayor of Carmel, California. 3) He was a big baby at birth, weighing 11 lbs 6 oz. 4) Owns a members-only private golf club "Tehama" in Carmel Valley, California. 5) When he won the Best Director Oscar for Million Dollar Baby (2004), he became the oldest director to do so at age 74 Ugur Akinci, Ph.D. is a Creative Copywriter, Editor, an experienced and award-winning Technical Communicator specializing in fundraising packages, direct sales copy, web content, press releases, movie reviews and hi-tech documentation.
