Eastwood's intricate romantic history, marked by multiple 'compelling' affairs, unveiled in recently-released biography
In a revealing new biography, "Clint: The Man and The Movies" by Shawn Levy, the private life of Hollywood legend Clint Eastwood is brought to light, shedding insight on the actor's romantic escapades and relationships throughout his illustrious career.
Married to Maggie Johnson from 1953 to 1984, Eastwood led a lifestyle marked by multiple affairs. Johnson was reportedly aware of his infidelities and accepted them as part of their marriage. Eastwood himself admitted, "One thing Mag had to learn about me was that I was going to do as I pleased. She had to accept that, because if she didn't, we wouldn't be married."
Eastwood's affairs spanned many women he met in various settings, such as acting classes, studio lots, jazz clubs, neighbours in his apartment complex, and more. The book describes an environment conducive to sexual adventures, with friends nearby and quick access to other apartments for trysts.
Among his notable relationships during that period were with actress Sondra Locke, who starred in his 1975 film *The Outlaw Josey Wales*, and stuntwoman Roxanne Tunis. He also had long-term relationships with actress Frances Fisher later on.
Eastwood fathered eight known children with six women, reflecting the breadth of his romantic involvements over the years. His children include Laurie Murray, Kimber Eastwood, Kyle Eastwood, Alison Eastwood, Scott Eastwood, Kathryn Eastwood, Francesca Eastwood, and Morgan Eastwood.
