Book Review: American Rebel

American Rebel: The Life of Clint Eastwood is a thoroughly researched biography of the film legend, and methodically covers the actor/director’s life from childhood to the present day. Biographer Marc Eliot utilizes extensive interviews and memiors from other actors, directors and family to draw a detailed portrait of the man and movie legend. From his television days on Rawhide in the early 1960’s to his extremely popular “spaghetti westerns,” Eastwood has climbed the ladder of success with hard work and business savvy to become an Academy Award winning director and producer. Despite his turbulent personal life and stoic demeanor, Eastwood is known in Hollywood circles as being an effective “actor’s director.” The reader will learn the motivation and strong character behind this private man after reading Eliot’s well-resourced text.
