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.

According to a CBS press statement for the movie Rawhide, Eastwood was invited to see the director while Universal-International was filming in Fort Ord, although Patrick McGilligan, Eastwood’s unofficial biographer, disputes this.
In Eastwood’s official biography, it is stated that Chuck Hill, a soldier stationed at Fort Ord with connections in Hollywood, was the pivotal character. While Eastwood was in Los Angeles, Hill reconnected with him and was able to smuggle him into a Universal studio where he met cameraman Irving Glassberg.
