I just don't think he finished high school,' explained Fritz Manes, a boyhood friend two years younger than Eastwood, who remained associated with him until their falling out in the mid-1980s. Another high school friend, Don Loomis, echoed 'I don't think he was spending that much time at school because he was having a pretty good time elsewhere.' 'I think what happened is he just went off and started having a good time. I think that was his major,' joked classmate Don Kincade. He transferred to Oakland Technical High School and was scheduled in January 1949 to graduate midyear, although it is not clear if he did. From January 1945 until at least January 1946, he attended Piedmont High School, but was asked to leave for writing an obscene suggestion to a school official on the athletic field scoreboard, and for burying someone in effigy on the school lawn, on top of other school infractions. Įastwood attended Piedmont Middle School, where he was held back due to poor academic scores, and records indicated he also had to attend summer school. Settling in Piedmont, California, the Eastwoods lived in an affluent area of the town, had a swimming pool, belonged to a country club, and each parent drove their own car. Contrary to what Eastwood has indicated in media interviews, they did not move between 19. During the 1930s, his family moved often as his father worked at jobs along the West Coast. He is descended from Mayflower passenger William Bradford, and through this line is the 12th generation of his family born in North America. He has a younger sister named Jeanne Bernhardt (born 1934), and is of English, Irish, Scottish, and Dutch ancestry. Eastwood was nicknamed 'Samson' by the hospital nurses because he weighed 11 pounds 6 ounces (5.2 kg) at birth. Ruth later took the surname of her second husband, John Belden Wood (1913–2004), whom she married after the death of Clinton Sr. Other popular films include the Western Hang 'Em High (1968), the psychological thriller Play Misty for Me (1971), the crime film Thunderbolt and Lightfoot (1974), the Western The Outlaw Josey Wales (1976), the prison film Escape from Alcatraz (1979), the action film Firefox (1982), the suspense thriller Tightrope (1984), the Western Pale Rider (1985), the war films Where Eagles Dare (1968), Kelly's Heroes (1970), and Heartbreak Ridge (1986), the action thriller In the Line of Fire (1993), the romantic drama The Bridges of Madison County (1995), and the drama Gran Torino (2008).Įastwood was born on in San Francisco, California, the son of Clinton Eastwood (1906–1970) and Ruth (Runner) Wood (1909–2006). Eastwood's greatest commercial successes have been the adventure comedy Every Which Way But Loose (1978) and its sequel, the action comedy Any Which Way You Can (1980), after adjustment for inflation.
