Clint turns 80 today
Has there ever been a better Hollywood tough guy than Clint? IMO no.

I thought he was older than that. I remember being a little kid when my uncle told me Clint was 51. Come to think of it, that was about 29 yrs. ago. Total hero, that guy.

Coolest guy alive.
(AFAIK he never really was part of that typical Hollywood circus, like Patrick Swayze (RIP), which gets my respect) I'm a big western fan, I think his westerns are fooking AWE-SOME!! (Gran Torino was great too!)

Going out with girls 30 years younger than you (or even younger!) will do that for you! Also take a lot of your money but he is doing ok there...

"Heartbreak Ridge" was my favorite. True Clint. Seemed like the first of his "old guy" movies of which he has done extremely well. I wonder if Bruce Willis can even come close.

Spent the day working with my 80 year-old father...building shelves in the the new shop, three generations of Morgan men working together. A simple, beautiful thing.
West Point, MIT, Korea, Vietnam. I like Clint Eastwood as an actor and his other endeavors. But, my father was and remains the smartest, toughest man I have ever met. Happy Memorial Day, Dad.
