Chiseled Out of Stone “l figure that by the time I’m really old, somebody at the Academy Awards will get the bright idea to give me some sort of plaque, I’ll be so old, they’ll have to carry me up there”. Clint Eastward said this quote because he is still seen as a leader today, even though he is old; this shows that Clint Eastward will never be forgotten. He may be awarded more plaques as he ages. He has shown power by the tremendous amount of movies he has participated in.
Clint Eastward is a very well-known movie actor and had an influence on people in the world; his power over other actors and people is amazing. Clint Eastward was born on May 31, 1930, in San Francisco, California (“Clint Eastward par. 1). He was born during the Depression, and his family moved from town to town looking for Jobs (par. 10). His father was Clinton and his mother was Ruth Eastward (par. 3), and he had one sister (par. 10). He went to Oakland Technical High School and played Varsity basketball (par. 11).
As soon as he graduated high school, he got work like pumping gas, cutting lumber, fighting fires in Oregon, and worked in a Texas blast furnace (par. 1). He went to Los Angels City College and was in the United States Army for four years (par. 3). Eastward had two wives, one was Maggie Johnson and the other was Diana Uric (par. 3). He had seven children with three women, two to whom he was married to (par. 3). He is still living today at 83 years old and is still directing; in 2011 he directed Leonardo Didactic (par. 31).
Clint Eastward has some major power like the 17 major motion pictures that he directed by 1993 (“Clint Eastward” par. 27). Clint Eastward started being and actor in 1964 and has produced and directed movies and films since 1970 (par. ). That shows great power by how he was only an actor for six years then became a director in such little time. In 2008 Eastward was awarded best actor for the films Changeling and Grand Torsion (par. 30). During the 1964 hiatus in Rawhide, Eastward accepted a $1 5,000 offer to make a feature film in Spain for Italian director Sergei Leone (par. 4). By 1993, Eastward had made 41 major motion pictures (par. 27). The $15,000 offer to make a feature film in Spain catapulted Eastward from dead-end television career to a life-long stardom in the movies (par. 14). That’s what started Statehood’s career as n actor, so that was a major event in his life. Eastward was an actor in the movie Dirty Harry and many people hated this movie and called Eastward the worst performer who had ever stepped in front of a camera (par. 17). Even though the people hated it they still flocked to see Dirty Harry.
Clint Eastward enjoys having great power because of the awards, as he once said, “That the wait for the award had been worth it” (par. 27). Clint Eastward had a great influence on the people back in the day and now. A great influence is the amount of awards he was given for his movies by acting and directing. In 1985 en was awarded best erector and best picture; and in 2 en got the Kennedy Center Honor Art Directors, Golden Coach Award, and numerous best director awards for Mystic River and Million Dollar Baby (par. ). Obviously, the people really liked him based on the awards he won. He also was awarded the Special Achievement Award, National Board of Review in 2004 (par. 2). During Statehood’s film A Fistful of Dollars he was given a wordy script, Eastward slashed pages of the script and convinced the director that audiences would root for a terse hero (par. 15). The only time the people didn’t like him was when Dirty Harry came UT, because he was a policeman who was dedicated to kill a psychotic killer (par. 17).
The only effects that are left today are good ones because he is known as a good actor and was awarded best actor in 2008 (par. 30). Possible effects for the future will probably be good effects. He said “l figure that by the time I’m really old, somebody at the Academy Awards will get the bright idea to give me some sort of plaque, I’ll be so old, they’ll have to carry me up there”. Clint Eastward is a movie actor and director that had an influence on people in the world; his power over people is shown by his magnificent awards.
He probably still influences people today that want to be an actor or who are already actors; because of his acting style that everyone loved. Clint Eastward should always be remembered because of his one of a kind acting and directing that may never be seen again in the future. People should always remember Eastward and watch some of his many movies every once in a while to remember his acting styles. After all he is said to be “chiseled out of stone: a cold, intimidating squint above high cheekbones and square Jaw, a lanky, no-nonsense frame, and a mouth tailor-made to sneer at bad guys.
