Clint Eastwood RealityClint Eastwood Reality, In other news, Clint Eastwood clearly has dementia. The legendary actor and Academy Award winning director is now apparently making a move to reality television. Really, Dirty Harry, reality? We understand that people are probably still reeling from the stench of J. Edgar, but come on Clint, reality is not the way. According to TMZ, the show, “will explore what it’s like to live in a family of ‘Hollywood royalty’. It will focus on the relationship between Clint’s wife Dina Eastwood, their daughter Morgan and Clint’s 18-year-old daughter Francesca … an aspiring actress.” Fantastic. The man who brought us Unforgiven, Mystic River, Invictus, and Million Dollar Baby is now bringing us yet another quality reality television show about spoiled and aspiring teens and their even more desperate-to-stay-in-the-spotlight mothers. The show is being produced by Bunim/Murray, the folks behind such gems as the gaggle of Kardashian shows as well as MTV’s Real World. Glad the Eastwood family reached out to some real professionals who have an excellent track record of not only keeping their shows light, noninvasive, and not at all pollutant of our lives, but also consistently portray their subjects in an unaltered and positive light.

Keeping up with the Eastwoods is also set to air on E!…what a surprise, the same network we have to thank for 3-4 more Kardashian spin offs. Clint is 81 years old, what is he doing getting mixed up in these shenanigans? The last thing I want to see is Clint limping around like some domesticated cat while his family parades around with his balls in their designer purses. Bruce Jenner can tell him all about that “being dead inside” feeling. The first piece of good news in this entire story might be that Clint will reportedly only play a very minor role on the show, appearing in just a few cameos. Maybe this is bad news if you were hoping that Clint’s behind closed doors attitude mirrors Walt Kowalski’s from Gran Torino. Either way, Clint’s general absence still leaves plenty of screen time for his family to tarnish his reputation. Perhaps this is why you don’t marry someone half your age. Clint Eastwood is responsible for some cinematic excellence both in-front of and behind the camera in his career that spans over 40 years. Clint, you’re not making anyone’s day by doing this reality show, well okay, maybe your wife and daughters are, but come on – we’re the ones that matter.

Clint Eastwood Seven Children 5 Different Women, Clinton “Clint” Eastwood, Jr. (born May 31, 1930) is an American film actor, director, producer, composer and politician. Eastwood first came to prominence as a supporting cast member in the TV series Rawhide (1959–1965). He rose to fame for playing the Man with No Name in Sergio Leone’s Dollars trilogy of spaghetti westerns (A Fistful of Dollars, For a Few Dollars More, and The Good, the Bad and the Ugly) during the 1960s, and as San Francisco Police Department Inspector Harry Callahan in the Dirty Harry films (Dirty Harry, Magnum Force, The Enforcer, Sudden Impact, and The Dead Pool) during the 1970s and 1980s. These roles, along with several others in which he plays tough-talking no-nonsense police officers, have made him an enduring cultural icon of masculinity.

Eastwood won Academy Awards for Best Director and Producer of the Best Picture, as well as receiving nominations for Best Actor, for his work in the films Unforgiven (1992) and Million Dollar Baby (2004). These films in particular, as well as others including Play Misty for Me (1971), The Outlaw Josey Wales (1976), Pale Rider (1985), In the Line of Fire (1993), The Bridges of Madison County (1995), and Gran Torino (2008), have all received commercial success and critical acclaim. Eastwood’s only comedies have been Every Which Way but Loose (1978), its sequel Any Which Way You Can (1980), and Bronco Billy (1980); despite being widely panned by critics, the “Any Which Way” films are the two highest-grossing films of his career after adjusting for inflation.

In addition to directing most of his own star vehicles, Eastwood has also directed films in which he did not appear, such as Mystic River (2003) and Letters from Iwo Jima (2006), for which he received Academy Award nominations, and Changeling (2008). He has received considerable critical praise in France in particular, including for several of his films which were panned in the United States, and was awarded two of France’s highest honors: in 1994 he received the Ordre des Arts et des Lettres medal and in 2007 was awarded the Légion d’honneur medal. In 2000 he was awarded the Italian Venice Film Festival Golden Lion for lifetime achievement.

Since 1967, Eastwood has run his own production company, Malpaso, which has produced the vast majority of his films. He also served as the nonpartisan mayor of Carmel-by-the-Sea, California, from 1986 to 1988. Eastwood has seven children by five different women, and has married twice.

Clint Eastwood, Clint Eastwood only gets offered “grumpy old men” roles.The Oscar-winning actor and director, who has just finished directing the biographical drama ‘J.Edgar’ with Leonardo DiCaprio, admits as he has gotten older the variety of roles he is offered has dwindled, so he relies on powerful scripts to help him make his decision.

He said: “Once and a while they come up with a grumpy old men thing and they say, ‘Okay, let’s get Eastwood for that.’

“Regardless of what age you are, most actors would all agree that it’s all based upon material and the material has got to spark with you. It may be great material, but you think it’s great material for somebody else. Or it’s great material and I’m perfect for it. So, you just have to make that judgment and if you feel in the mood to do it.”

The 81-year-old star has always struggled to decide whether he wants to be in front or behind the camera, because so often a role will come up he feels he has to do.

He told ScreenCrave.com: “When I first started directing, I said you know, if I could pull this off, I could someday just move in back of the camera and stay there. I never was able to pull it off because somebody offered me a role.”
