    Product Description
    At 75, Clint Eastwood appears to be at the top of his game. His latest film, Million Dollar Baby, garnered four Oscars, including Best Director and Best Motion Picture—reprising his triumph with Unforgiven. Now, drawing on exclusive interviews with Eastwood, biographer Douglas Thompson looks at the life and artistry of one of Hollywood’s most revered stars.

    Over four decades, Clint Eastwood has become a Hollywood legend, his success on both sides of the camera assuring him his place in cinema history. Born the son of a steel worker in 1930, Eastwood’s drive for success led him to his first break, in 1959, on the TV series Rawhide. Eastwood broke from television in 1964 with A Fistful of Dollars—his steely gaze and strong, silent screen presence made the film a surprise box-office smash. In 1971, his performance in Dirty Harry cemented his reputation as an electrifying talent, and he has since gone on to star in and direct some of the most memorable films in Hollywood history. Now, drawing on exclusive interviews with the star, Douglas Thompson gives us a definitive portrait.

    5 out of 5 stars HANGING OUT AND CHATTING WITH CLINT   December 4, 2009

    I have read several Eastwood Biographies over the years. Clint Eastwood: Billion Dollar Man by Douglas Thompson, has got to be one of the best interview/bios I have read by far. Thompson composes his book insuch a way that "you" the reader feels you've actually sat down in a long conversation with Clint himself. Observing Eastwood process of setting up the next scene on the set location. Or maybe you got together for a beer or two after dinner? Clint Eastwood is well known for being a very private person. This book gives you some insight into the life of one the World's Most Talented Actor/Director this century. And yet there still is a mystery that probably only the closest of his family might ever know.

    UNDERCOVER - My Story by Greg Quesnelle

    Mr. Eastwood has been around a long time. His passion and dedication to the film industry is legendary. A role model for aspiring authors, actors and film makers. A good insight to the man.
