Clint Eastwood Turns 90 today. Happy Birthday.
Clint Eastwood, one of our national treasures turns 90 today. Thank you Mr. Eastwood for all your great movies, and of course for making the S&W Model 29 what it is today. May you have many more..

I wonder if S&W still sends him "thank you" cards once a year?

I read somewhere,maybe here, that Toby Kieth asked Mr. Eastwood how he stayed so active and part of Mr. Eastwood;s answer was "don't let the old man in". Toby Kieth went home and wrote this song after that conversation with Mr, Eastwood, and I added it to my daily commute music,

One of my cousins married one of Clint's daughters and spends a good bit of time with him. He tells me that Clint is, in fact, the real deal - just what we all wanted to believe he would be.

My feeling about Clint are like this: As an actor and director/producer he is top rank. As a person, not so much. Pretty liberal and anti-gun (hypocrite) and definitely a womanizer.

He got me interested in handgun shooting. A top favorite actor. I hope he has a great day. "Make my day!" Keep up the good work.

The checked boxes on the "pro" side of my Clint list far outnumber the "con" boxes.
I offer him thanks for a lifetime of quality entertainment and wish him well.
"Right turn Clyde."

Clint was a Republican when mayor of Carmel and describes himself as Libertarian now. He's conservative by Hollywood standards but I would call him quite balanced since he is quoted as saying he's "always in a state of evolution", and I think that's a good way to keep an open mind and learn new things. We can ALL learn new things while we "keep the old man from getting in".

YOU want to nitpick Clint Eastwood for having opinions of his own that might not align with your idea of conservative political correctness?
You got to ask yourself one question: Do I feel lucky? Well, do ya, punk?
Happy Birthday, Clint.

He lost all of his appeal to me as a result of his throwing his recent primary election support to the most virulent anti-gun presidential candidate ever. Bye bye Clint.

He was cool enough not to mind being upstaged by an old gal and an ape.

yes, Libertarian is what he described himself. I try to catch the RAWHIDE series on Saturdays on the ME channel with a young Rowdy Yates.

The libertarians I read, mostly at Lew Rockwell do assert themselves as definitively NOT anti-gun. If so, how is he calling himself a libertarian and at the same time, as I read in the posts above, be anti-gun ?
Just out of curiosity !

Even though Clint Eastwood has always been an old man to me, it is hard to believe he is 90. His movies, both as an actor and director, are always top quality.
While not everyone will agree with his politics, I do admire how he seems to do his own thing. He seems to have beliefs that are across the spectrum, and does not play the company man to any side. I just hope he keeps making more great movies.
