American Faces: Clint Eastwood

Clint Eastwood is one of my favorite American Faces because I love him more and more with each movie. Because I can't remember a time that I wasn't familiar with his wonderful face, which I adore more as it ages. Because he was a gun-toting tough guy all the conservative men in my family loved and because he grew older and renounced that very image by illustrating how senseless violence is in his films. Because he once said in an interview, "I like the libertarian view, which is to leave everyone alone. And when asked about gay marriage, replied: "From a libertarian point of view, you would say, 'Yeah? So what?' You have to believe in total equality. People should be able to be what they want to be and do what they want -- as long as they're not harming people." Because he's Morgan Freeman's hero and he is also mine.
