The Brightest Stars Of The ’80s – Would You Recognize Them Today?
Clint Eastwood – Producer/Director/Actor
You can’t talk about ‘60s Westerns without mentioning Clint Eastwood. That’s when Eastwood shot to fame appearing in the trilogy of Sergio Leone’s Dollar films. While cementing his role in Hollywood as a leading man and filmmaker, Eastwood soon won awards, including the Best Director for Unforgiven.
Eastwood runs Malpaso Productions, and he’s released the majority of his films under the company. He’s also known for starring in films he produces/directs, but a couple of commercially successful ones that he didn’t headline include Letters from Iwo Jima and Mystic River. Eastwood most recently produced and directed the 2019 film Richard Jewell.
