Actor and director Clinton Eastwood Jr. was born in the United States on May 31, 1930. The “Man with No Name” in Sergio Leone’s “Dollars Trilogy” of spaghetti westerns during the middle of the 1960s and antihero cop Harry Callahan in the five Dirty Harry movies throughout the 1970s and 1980s propelled him to international prominence after finding success in the Western TV series Rawhide.

Eastwood has become a perennial cultural image of masculinity in part because of these roles and others. Eastwood, who was chosen as mayor of Carmel-by-the-Sea, California, in 1986, held the position for two years.

Clint Eastwood parents: Who are his father and mother?

Ruth ( 1909–2006) and Clinton Eastwood welcomed their son Eastwood on May 31, 1930, at Saint Francis Memorial Hospital in San Francisco, California (1906–1970).

Ruth was known by the last name of her second husband, John Belden Wood (1913–2004), whom she married after the passing of Clinton Sr., during the time her son was famous. Because Eastwood was born weighing only 11 pounds 6 ounces (5.2 kg), the hospital nurses gave him the name “Samson.”
