Clint Eastwood - Richard Schickel

The first full account of one of the most remarkable careers in modern Hollywood, written with Clint Eastwood's full co-operation and based on extensive interviews with Eastwood, his friends, family and colleagues. From the moment he achieved stardom over thirty years ago in the 'Spaghetti Westerns' of Sergio Leone, Clint Eastwood has remained private, even while becoming the most durably popular international star of our era and one of America's most significant directors. His unique career - he has directed sixteen films and produced almost everything he's done for 25 years - informed by personal and professional values rare in modern Hollywood.
