Clint Eastwood Called This Creative Decision "The Worst Moment of My Life"

In such a precarious line of work, Clint Eastwood's stability in Hollywood is remarkable. Major stars like him experience turbulent peaks and valleys, but thanks to his career-long relationship with Warner Bros, consistent box office track record, artistic evolution, and enduring cultural staying power, Eastwood has made being an A-lister look easy. It helps that, for over 50 years, he has controlled all facets of production as an actor, producer, and director. Throughout his career, other directors who worked with him learned that even if he's only hired as a star, Eastwood will have input in the creative vision.
