Acteur US né le 31 mai 1930 à San Francisco (Californie).
Parti de rien, il entre grâce à des amis à
Universal où il interprète
de petits rôles dans des séries B, puis l'un des rôles phares d'une longue
série, Rawhide. Il
se fait alors remarquer par Sergio Leone qui l'embauche pour sa trilogie de
l'« Homme Sans Nom », appelée aussi trilogie du dollar. Devenu célèbre, il
interprète de nombreux rôles, d'abord pour
Universal, puis pour
Warner Bros., notamment
ceux de L'Inspecteur Harry, En 1968, il devient producteur avec la
création de la société Malpaso et réalise son premier film en 1971 ( Un
frisson dans la nuit). Avec plus de quatre-vingts films à son actif, parmi
lesquels Impitoyable, Sur La Route De Madison ou Gran Torino,
Eastwood est parmi les cinéastes les plus connus du monde entier.
D'abord connu pour ses rôles d'aliénés, moralement ambigus ou encore d'anti-héros
dans des films d'action violents ou des westerns, puis pour ses rôles plus
touchants, pour ses réalisations empruntes d'une esthétique qui lui est propre,
Eastwood a été récompensé à de nombreuses reprises. Il a notamment remporté cinq
Oscars et Golden Globe Awards,
trois Césars, cinq People's Choice
Awards, quatre Golden
Globes et la Palme des Palmes au Festival de Cannes.
Peu avant les années 1960, il n'était pas rare qu'une célébrité de la télévision
— comme l'était à l'époque Clint Eastwood — enregistre un album pour tester sa
popularité. C'est ainsi qu'en 1963 Clint Eastwood franchit cette étape en
enregistrant son premier album intitulé
Rawhide's Clint Eastwood Sings
Cowboy Favorites chez Cameo Records. Ce sont pour la plupart des
reprises de morceaux connus. Cet album représente l'esprit de l'Amérique de
l'époque.
Clinton
"Clint" Eastwood, Jr. (born May 31, 1930) is an American film actor,
director, producer, and composer. He has received five Academy Awards, five
Golden Globe Awards, a Screen Actors Guild Award, and five People's Choice
Awards—including one for Favorite All-Time Motion Picture Star.
Eastwood was initially known for his alienated, morally ambiguous, anti-hero
acting roles in violent action and western films, particularly in the 1960s,
1970s, and 1980s. Following his role on the long-running television series
Rawhide, he went on to star as the Man With No Name in Sergio Leone's
Dollars trilogy and as Inspector Harry Callahan in the Dirty Harry
film series. These roles have made him an enduring icon of masculinity. Eastwood
is also known for his comedic efforts in Every Which Way but Loose (1978)
and Any Which Way You Can (1980), his two highest-grossing films after
adjustment for inflation.
For his work in the films Unforgiven (1992) and Million Dollar Baby
(2004), Eastwood won Academy Awards for Best Director and for producer of the
Best Picture and received nominations for Best Actor. These films in particular,
as well as others such as Play Misty for Me (1971), The Outlaw Josey
Wales (1976), Escape from Alcatraz (1979), In the Line of Fire
(1993), The Bridges of Madison County, (1995) and Gran Torino
(2008), have all received great critical acclaim and commercial success. He has
directed most of his star vehicles as well as films he has not acted in, such as
Mystic River (2003) and Letters from Iwo Jima (2006), for which he
received Academy Award nominations. Certain parts of his film related material
and personal papers are contained in the Wesleyan University Cinema Archives to
which scholars and media experts from around the world may have full access.
He also served as the nonpartisan mayor of Carmel-by-the-Sea, California from
1986–1988, tending to support small business interests on the one hand and
environmental protection on the other.
Eastwood is also a musician, pianist and composer. He composed the film scores
of Mystic River, Grace Is Gone (2007), and Changeling, and
the original piano compositions for In the Line of Fire. One of his songs
can be heard over the credits of Gran Torino.
