Clint Eastwood, born in 1930 in San Francisco, gained fame as an actor in spaghetti Westerns before turning to directing in 1971 with “Play Misty for Me.” He has since directed acclaimed films like “Million Dollar Baby” and “Unforgiven,” earning multiple Oscars. Eastwood also served as the mayor of Carmel by the Sea, California, reflecting his conservative political views. Despite a challenging upbringing during the Great Depression and a near-fatal plane crash during his army service at 21, Eastwood has remained a prominent figure in entertainment and politics. Now at 93, he continues to be an influential figure.
