If, as rumored, "Gran Torino" and "human factor"-that not yet, will premiere his latest work as director, then we should thank him now in life, Clint Eastwood the greatness of his work as director, actor, producer and author of the soundtrack of several films, because its more than 54 year career represents a legacy worthy of imitation for new filmmakers and actors, but also for moviegoers represent great classic films of various genres that can still be seen with pleasure, decades later.

His real name is Clint Eastwood Jr., born in San Francisco, California on 31st May 1930, currently serving as 79 years of age. He has worked as an actor in 64 films and are to leave the 2 newer ones.

From 1955 to date has won 4 Oscars, but has also gained an additional 101 international awards and nominations received 64 nominations.

Although born in San Francisco, California and raised in Oakland, actually lived in several cities with their parents because Clinton Eastwood Sr. and Margaret Ruth Runner went from city to city in search of work during the Great Depression, so Clint was a lumberjack, bricklayer, pianist, forest firefighter, clean pools, worker metal and many other trades.

he fulfilled his military service as a swimming instructor at Fort Ord and the savings made, could be paid some drama classes at Los Angeles College, because it was heavily influenced by friends of Camp David Janssen - who later became famous as an actor in the series "The Fugitive" and Martin Milner-famous after the series The Life of Ritley-and thanks to the two won its first contract at Universal he was paid $ 76 but with safe working week 40 weeks.

At 23 years old in 1953, he married Maggie Johnson, which would be the mother of his children Kyle and Alison, and a year later debuted its first film "Revenge of the Creature" and came while other performances in film, also managed to work in the television series "Rawhide" favored by its size and its physical handsome highlighting all media.

And success came quickly, because after his sixth film, he worked in 1960 in "A Fistful of Dollars" a "spaghetti western" directed by Italian Sergio Leone, who despite criticism the film was box office on different continents. And the film was shot in record time because there was no money for anything and say that Clint had to buy their own clothes, including the Mexican poncho is put on the shoulder and it left in the other films in which he also worked for Leone, in addition to the beard and the cigar-inseparable, and that would be "For a Few Dollars More", "The Good , the bad and the ugly, "perhaps the most famous trilogy on the American continent that became a trilogy that left a lot of money, as only Clint were over 270 thousand dollars, a rarity at that time .

But also, this trilogy marked the cowboy film, as well as from that date became known that "straight face" of Clint as part of its hardness and lack of piety, which is still imitated today not only in cowboy movies, but also other genres.

already the fame of the trilogy and the ditty of the song "The Good, the Bad and the Ugly, Clint was in Mexico filming in 1970 in the western Durango" Two Mules for Sister Sara, "directed by Don Siegel Shirley McLaine and many Mexicans as Armando Silvestre, Manuel Fábregas, Pancho Córdova, Ada Carrasco, Enrique Lucero, but the tape was very successful nu.

But the following year another success will emerge with the Clint Eastwood thriller "Play Misty for me" with his debut as a film director. And as was his directorial debut, expected shortly him, but surprised, because it was an interesting intrigue thanks to the interpretation of Jessica Walter stressing and disturbing for its threats and provocations. The film was shot in the city of Caramel, his hometown and the mayor would be the mid-eighties. But history of the speaker threatened by a listener, it also has a good selection of songs that appear in the background.

And last but not least, his next film was a hit, and another myth born film by Clint Eastwood. Third, because first highlighted in the western and merciless gunman in the trilogy of Sergio Leone, then in the thriller as an announcer, and now as "Dirty Harry" was a classic male, a gunman just dirt in the film called by that name and directed by Don Siegel, a character who was police several genre films.

And just 7 years after its debut, which some predicted would be a failure for those who believed "very face" but nothing was as an actor, but by then was showing it was a good actor, but much better director of various genres including .

But also under the direction of Don Siegel not only led him to fame as Detective Harry Callahan and some western, it was also a blockbuster "Escape from Alcatraz" in 1979.

Clint then did not do very well with their addresses in "Bronco Billy" and "Firefox" but in 1992 half the world marveled to become a blockbuster "Unforgiven" (Unforgiven) but when he was filming the critics around the world against him because they considered that people no longer interested in the topic of the western as well as the themes of war, and it was all said and shown on the big screen, but it was the opposite.

The film won 4 Oscars and 5 more Oscar nominations, but was critically acclaimed, award-winning and nominated in more than a dozen of the most renowned film festivals in the world. In the film, incidentally, has the role Frances Fisher star female and then it was Clint Eastwood couple and had a daughter Francesca Fisher-Eastwood. Clint Eastwood

Sondra breaks in 1989 after meeting Frances Fisher (Unforgiven, Titanic) with which they have a daughter and seven years later, in 1996 he married the Latino journalist Dina Ruiz, with whom he is still attached. Clint has had 7 children: Kimber was born in June 1964 and is the son of Roxanne tunnis, Kyle was born in 1968, Alison was born in 1972 and are of Maggie Johnson, Kathryn Eastwood asdemás born in 1988 and is Jacelyn Reeves, Heather Eastwood also born in 1988, Francesca Fisher-Eastwood also was born in 1993 and Frances Fisher and Morgan was born in 1996 and Diana Ruiz.

As early as 2003, Clint returns to drama "Mystic River" with Sean Penn and did very well because candiaturas won six Oscar including Best Picture and Best Director, winning the best actor and best supporting actor.

And in 2004 his new direction, "Million Dollar Baby" with Hilary Swank and Morgan Freman won 4 Oscars including Best Director and 3 nominciones more.

Clint also composed jazz records, owns several sports companies and hostels, including a luxury resort in Monterey County and has always sought to offer an image of a man who is always ready physically.

Interestingly
best addressed lately, "Gran Torino, Clint returns to its beginning and takes the character to characterize left on the screen because it considered that affected its image, the police thug "Dirty Harry", but now the police in old age unfolds within a critical framework to political intolerance, racism, gender abuse, but turned into another of his masterpieces Clint, managing to leave the audience shocked, especially by the end that has the tape.

Chuck Norris is well known in the world for its martial arts, but also for his role as Ranger-ranger "in the television series" Walker, Texas Ranger "and the action movie" Delta Force "but achieved greater fame when he appeared fighting Bruce Lee in the film "Operation Dragon," where Chuck lost the match, but won fame.

But it is worth noting that his fame was achieved with a very long career in time and a few interventions in movies and on television, because for 39-year career intervened only 37 times in film and television.

was also famous for being the classic hero who never hurt much less killed, or who never runs out of ammunition for his pistol or rifle, and never fails to shock or fire.

His most recent contribution was in the movie "The cutter" a thriller with drama and action, filmed in 2005, but also in that year was the executive producer a TV movie based on the series ran from 1993 to 2001, "Walker, Texas Ranger. Trial by fire ", and in 2003 worked in the horror film" Bells of Innocence. "

But it also created his own martial art which he called Chun Kuk Do, based on Tang Soo Do with elements of all martial arttes he knows, as he himself said, and has its own code of honor and rules of life, which are:
1. Develop my full potential prospects as possible in all my life.
2. Forget past mistakes and concentrate on the great triumphs of the present.
3. I always keep a positive thought and try to convey this to everyone you know.
4. Continually try to develop the love, joy and loyalty in my family, and realize that no other success can compensate for failure at home.
5. Seek the best of all people and make them feel worthwhile.
