#511-Happy 95th, Clintus

Yes, Clintus is Clint Eastwood’s real first name and thank goodness he shortened it! It wouldn’t have seemed the same with his real name on a movie poster.

And although he made a bunch of low-budget bit part roles in westerns and monster movies in the 50s and had second billing on Rawhide television show for nine years, it was not until he was 34 years old that he really made an impact in movies with his first starring role as “The Man with No Name,” in Fistful of Dollars.”
