I dunno. I'm certainly not taking anything away from Mr. Eastwood, but these days there really is no fashion. Bell bottoms, huge collars, sideburns, etc can all still be worn successfully. The person makes the fashion, so to speak, and not the other way around.
I was in Paint Your Wagon as an extra it was a great summer of fun that I will never forget. I was also side man to Elvis in the film Double Trouble as a member of his band. Another memory I will always treasure. I am even on the cover of the DVD with Elvis, I am the guy with the guitar and black hair.
Thank you, Maggie (former Mrs Eastwood) for encouraging Clint not to quit the business. Imagine how dull life would have been without Clint Eastwood in it.
This guy is one of the few very good interviewers who knows his stuff, lets the actor talk...he plainly is getting into Clint's work, etc, and not there to salve his ego or recognition. There was a great interviewer I think on AMC or possibly TCM that was doing 1 hour talks with all the great stars...and I see him in my mind but cannot recall his name. Great stuff here, one learns with intelligent, humble people. Clint sure had his head on straight and probably the longest running actor and director in history...& he never seemed in love with himself.
Thanks for this! An intelligent and knowledgeable interviewer asking questions of an intelligent actor. The kind of interview very rarely seen on American television!
As a kid, I always looked forward to watching his show, whether or not I knew who his guest was. He was so thorough and unique with his interviews. Martin Short (SCTV & SNL) spoofs him.
Eastwood , served his apprenticeship in B movies and was a popular co-star in Rawhide ,that series had a more realistic style than the other westerns on TV back then , Clint absorbed everything he experienced and started to direct . The fact is he is a seasoned actor and great director who chooses good stories to shoot with a wide variety of subjects long may he continue.
@@alukuhito Back then it was much more acceptable to have side affairs and no one was calling you out or posting lurid gossip and rumors it was all kept under the radar and they respected peoples privacy but believe me I think if you read his biography he certainly made plenty of successful dalliances
@@jamesmack3314 "Acceptable" doesn't mean "proper". Affairs are for the lowest of the low. If he was having affairs, then shame on him. Even just one is a shame. Anyway, there were plenty of people in the 60s and 70s who did not accept affairs, despite all the trashy hippy influence going on at the time in western countries, particulary the USA.
Brian Linehan is a genius. Where did he even come up with his viewpoint? He was so knowledgeable and confident and truly interested in his interviewees. I wonder where he drew inspiration from.
Oh my God Clint Eastwood Jesus he’s so GOD DAMN beautiful! Damn! God now I know why the MOM’s were CRAZY FOR THIS GUY! Rocks, a baby, yellow turtleneck… oh my God how did I not see this before? Maybe because I was TEN
Brian Richard Linehan (September 3, 1944 - June 4, 2004) was a Canadian television host from Hamilton, Ontario, best known for his celebrity interviews on the longrunning talk show City Lights.
What glorious content “Reeling” holds. We who love content wish there was more made public but we also understand that selling content is your core business. As my generation ages we watch as Content ages too. Certainly, it’s yours to sell or eat but it sure makes our lives richer when you release it. At some point, the audience dies and everything from Johnny Carson to Film Noir to SCTV becomes irrelevant ( and unseen). Please release more of your vaults before we’re gone. Thanks
"The story is everything, without the story there's no use putting all these peripheral components together without the center". This is why Clint Eastwood is one of the most influential filmmaker in the history of cinema. He gets it.
I love how Clint talks about percentage instead of a single one million dollar payout. Most of his films made money so Clint made money. He took the risk and it paid off.
@@drott150 I don't think he looks older than 44. He looks better than a lot if men I know who are trn years younger. Clint isn't grey here, has a lot of hair and no beer gut .
Is that a giant ashtray on the table in front of them? lol Oh, the world of 1974. I actually miss it. If only I could go back to it, except this time as an adult.
@@stockinettestitch Thanks for that great little article! Man, a town of several hundred thousand and it can only support ONE used bookstore? I'd HANG MYSELF...or leave like she did. Yeah, that makes more sense. Jeez, Martin Short looks EXACTLY like the photo of Brock---a great homage. Also, great scene from ZOOLANDER. Take care!!
I was watching the wolverine, and put on RUclips while the ad break was on. I clicked on this random Clint Eastwood interview, and I thought to myself, he would have played wolverine really well. Then I scrolled down and saw your comment. Amused me.
I'm just fascinated by the camera quality. In 1974, a camera like that would've costed thousands and it would've been huge. In 1999, that would've been an affordable family VHS camcorder that was able to be held in a single hand. Amazing how technology works.
Its funny that the criticisms aren't remembered and neither are the critics themselves. They have a job to do and they can serve a useful purpose but they can also be a pointless interference to art. Eastwood had endured because of his past work and because he continued to be relevant. It speaks louder and longer than any critic's writing. The masses will decide what's most relevant without being guided, shamed, ridiculed and re-educated from the voices on high. They can also support the worst garbage if it's strategically marketed by a billion dollar industry. Critics today are more politically and ideologically motivated by extreme bias than ever before. Somewhere in the middle of all that, a decent movie is occasionally made and even seen.
How can he hold his eyebrows like that?i realized i do that when i wanna do but when in public or someone asks me question my eyebrows went like a bow and it loses it's all toughness.
He proves himself a very considerable actor by answering with a straight face to a man who has a hairstyle like a warthog's warehouse of abandoned dreams
Ah ... you focus on looks rather than what the person is saying/asking. Sign of high intelligence. Just listen to the questions, the research that when into them, and perhaps learn something about what makes a good interview.
This was pretty standard fare in the 70's. Michael Parkinson, who recently passed, was an outstanding chat show host in the UK. Grown up, interesting content and interviewing like this, is pretty much gone. Its all mostly bubblegum for the brain now.
Perhaps he did. But I prefer that to Larry King's questions that show a complete lack of knowledge of the interviewee. They are both on opposite ends of the spectrum of interview styles.
Clint Eastwood - A humble man, respectful to others. I guess, what's not to admire and respect? A Class Act.
ask his wife
Only Clint could make a turtleneck sweater look badass.
Lewis 970
A lemon one at that
I dunno. I'm certainly not taking anything away from Mr. Eastwood, but these days there really is no fashion. Bell bottoms, huge collars, sideburns, etc can all still be worn successfully. The person makes the fashion, so to speak, and not the other way around.
And Christopher reeves could pull it off too
@@jccohen9626 21:30
So could Steve McQueen.
His voice is very relaxing and ASMR.
It's his manner of pronouncing words with aspiration even where shouldn't be one, phonetically. Absolutely cool.
I love it when an interviewer actually does research and doesn't ask the same tired questions.
Brian Linehan was so great at researching for his interviews that the interviewees often wondered 'how do you know that?'
@@rachybaby72 Yeah. You know their good questions when the interviewee says that
He’s doing his best to read his mind as well , inside the head of a famous movie star and his work process.
Clint Eastwood is a legend
Easily
One of the best Entertainers We ever had.
I could listen to Clint Eastwood for hours
I prefer feel good inc, but to each their own I guess
Clint Eastwood is unique to Hollywood, to filmmaking. No other person has been such a megastar AND a highly regarded director for decades!!!!
Absolutely.
Orson Welles, Woody Allen,
Mae West, etc.
There have been others.
@@geofflepper3207 are you trying to be funny?
@@MrAdvance2go Eastwood is not the only respected actor-director.
@@geofflepper3207woody Allen? When was the last time he made a big movie? Eastwood has a far superior work record.
Eastwood is a national treasure
He smiles a lot, but don't think I've ever heard him laugh out loud.
He’s not an idiot that’s why
He chuckles in Thunderbolt and Lightfoot at the mention of racoon shit. That's the only time he's ever laughed, according to unwritten biographies
Watch Don Rickles with him.
@@7_slices Laughter is a normal human act.
There's a behind the scenes video of Kelly's heroes with don rickles joking and Clint laughs out loud at his joke .
I was in Paint Your Wagon as an extra it was a great summer of fun that I will never forget. I was also side man to Elvis in the film Double Trouble as a member of his band.

Wow. How lucky can you be! Being in the presence of two legends! I even have the "Double Trouble" LP.
Clint has been the same person for the past 40 yrs.... Really one of kind....
God he was such a good looking bastard. Bless.
Thank you, Maggie (former Mrs Eastwood) for encouraging Clint not to quit the business. Imagine how dull life would have been without Clint Eastwood in it.
I wonder what Clint would have done if he quit acting? Imagine going to a dealership and this man is selling a car? Or a construction site etc.

The interviewer is Canadian. His interviews were generally held in Toronto, although this one was held New Orleans I believe.
Brian Lineman is an excellent interviewer. I had never heard of him before. I also sadly found out that he died in 2004.
As a kid, I always looked forward to watching his show, whether or not I knew who his guest was. He was so thorough and unique with his interviews. Martin Short (SCTV & SNL) spoofs him.

Agree. Sounds like he had trouble not having multiple dates on the same date.

He was inspired by Brock Lineahan, his cousin.
@@davidbernardi3410 Brock was amazing. Truly an inspiration for all. A lot of today's interviewers should take note.
What a great interviewer !!!

"Talk themselves out of what may come out of their instincts" ...good insight

Especially at 19:28.

He's just an actor. He PLAYS the badass. He isn't an actual one.
This guy is getting over. If you look at those 1950s beefcake photos, there is no way this guy never sat on the old "casting couch".
Clint and Steve McQueen are the coolest.
Love Mr Eastwood
We love those movies!!
You will never see actors like this again..shame
It is a shame.
Clint was outstanding as the laid back, quietly spoken, tough, ruthless and violent cowboy.
Loved him as Dirty Harry too.
@@helencampbell9203 When did Eastwood play someone who was violent for the sake of violence?
Very insightful.
Amazing to think Clint's 91 now. I haven't enjoyed everything he's done, but for the most part, I have. :)

What a men ? No
Wonder. He had a lot of

Very handsome
Damn he's gorgeous
Certainly was very good looking in his day.
They don't make men like that any more.
It sucks that there won't be another man like him
Unequivocally, my most favorite actor, ever.
Still looking for the 1983 interview with Ann-Margret
"The story is everything, without the story there's no use putting all these peripheral components together without the center".
This is why Clint Eastwood is one of the most influential filmmaker in the history of cinema. He gets it.
Clint Eastwood is the reason Bad has more than one meaning. There are Legends of acting and then there are Icons. Mr. Eastwood & Mr. Wayne are Icons.
Without a doubt, THE greatest movie star in 100 years of cinema.....

Clinteastwood Love 🤠🤠💪☠️👍🤎🐎
Clint Eastwood. Top dog.
He was answering questions in the seventies about equality and feminism that would be valid and difficult to answer as well now.

When I was a kid Clint was the coolest man alive......
No doubt

Amazing how technology works.
My thoughts, exactly.
The classic 70s Han Solo lid. Chicks still dig it!
Terrible dresser, boring off screen personality but one of the best looking men of all times. Also an actor with tremendous screen presence.
Brian Linehan. His hair. My mum had a similar style.

Never ruffled .
Who was more handsome, Sean Connery or Clint Eastwood?
Clint easily
Thomas Norman was handsome in the 70s 80s 90s
If you want to see Clint laugh out loud watch him with Don Rickles
Back in the old days when Clint only used to talk to footstools.
