Hi there,
I just read an article in a German news magazine on Clint Eastwood. The author went to Carmel to speak to him for his 80th birthday, but Warner had told him that he would give no interviews. So he was running around the village to talk about him to other people, their favourite movies of his and to find out, if there was a possibility to meet him.
Here's the part of the article I thought you might be interested in - translation from me:
Source: Der Spiegel, 31.05.2010...Asking for Eastwood (E) in the Cypress Inn, which belongs to Doris Day. She worked together with E in the documentary "Don't Pave Mainstreet".
The Lobby: A pink candy box with DD-movie posters on the walls. Beneath them sits Co-Owner Dennis LeVett who wears a canary-yellow tie and two-coloured shoes. His favourite movie?
"The Bridges of Madison County".
Which one does he think DD would choose?
"Should we ask her?" Dennis LeVett calls her and hands the phone to me.
DD's voice sounds so platinum blonde and strong as if she could sing "Que Sera" at any time. However being 86 years old she has forgotten the title of the film in which she did it in. [Just translating - Don't shoot the messenger!] It was starring Jimmy Stewart, that's for sure. A gentleman, like Clint.
She thinks she has once danced with Clint, in Calamity Jane, a film musical from 1953. There were many young fellows in it.
"Do you have a favourite Eastwood-film?"
"Play Misty For Me"
"But Doris, that's a horror movie!"
"I know, but the women are strong. Clint's other movies hardly ever star women. Those are guy-movies."
"How can we meet CE?"
"Go to the Mission Ranch, he's there once in a while playing the piano." ....
Anybody know "Don't Pave Mainstreet"? Sounds like a campaign movie from when Eastwood was running for mayor?
