Born May 31, 1930, Clinton Eastwood, Jr.'s mother thought that he would be famous one day because, when he was born he weighed eleven pounds and six ounces. I t would be awhile before the "Pale Rider" would become a household name.

The Eastwood family moved around a lot, the depression years lingered on to some extent.

Clint Eastwood has kept the "western movies" alive. Eastwood has played in and produced western movies during a time when it seemed passe. Cowboys and Indians, once a kids game that all kids played at one time or other is not played like it once was.

Eastwood has come a long way since his days as "Rowdy Yates" a wrangle on the TV series "Rawhide". He played Yates for seven years on TV. The Western movie was once #1 in all the movie houses. Times change and so do people. For some reason "baby boomers" cannot get enough of of the old west.
