Over the course of a celebrated and spellbinding career ??? both on screen and behind the camera ??? Clint Eastwood has become one of the all-time Hollywood greats. From early starring roles in Sergio Leone's genre busting Spaghetti Western 'A Fistful of Dollars' to recent movies such as Gran Torino, he has captivated audiences with his tough guy persona for over forty years.

He is one of only three living directors to have directed two Best Picture winners (for 'Unforgiven' and 'Million Dollar Baby'). This beautifully produced book is the definitive retrospective of this great movie icon.
