Voli svirati klavir, obožava blues, skladao je melankolične skladbe (i za svoje poznate filmove), voli životinje, golf i pravi je šarmer. Oduvijek je nešto radio pa je tako bio razgrtač sijena, radio je noćnu smjenu u čeličani, kopao je kanale, radio bazene, bio je drvosječa.. Ova biografija nas vodi u sve ostale znane i neznane detalje iz života koje su doprinijele onome što je i tko je Clint Eastwood danas.

An OK treatment of Clint but not very insightful.An episodic study of the man while I would have preferred a chronological account with some assessment.
