Clint Eastwood is an iconic actor who once did something heroic that saved a life.
Actor Clint Eastwood is known for his tough, macho roles. From playing a cowboy in Rawhide and Sergio Leone’s spaghetti Westerns, he exuded masculinity. There was no one cooler than Eastwood. He solidified that fact when he played legendary Inspector “Dirty” Harry Callahan. So it’s no surprise that everyone’s favorite macho man turned into a real-life hero back in 2014 when he saved a man’s life.
“Whatever success I’ve had is due to a lot of instinct and a little luck.”

Before Eastwood found success in Hollywood, he worked various odd jobs — logger, hay baler, and truck driver. After a stint in the U.S. Army, Eastwood was discharged in 1953, got married, and passed a screen test with Universal Studios. He landed roles in The Revenge of the Creature and Tarantula and Francis in the Navy.
His big break came in 1958 when producers cast him as Rowdy Yates in the TV Western series Rawhide. The show immediately became a hit with viewers and ran for eight seasons. It broke Eastwood into the mainstream and made him a household name. It also opened up doors for his next venture — spaghetti Westerns.
