Burbank, CA, United States (CNS) - Hollywood icon Clint Eastwood has a big birthday coming up and Turner Classic Movies is celebrating the prolific filmmaker and actor's career with a 24-hour marathon and world television premiere of a new documentary.


The Oscar winner will turn 80 on May 31 and TCM will kick off the marathon at 6 am ET. Some of Eastwood's most popular films will be featured in the run, including "Dirty Harry," "Magnum Force," "Kelly's Heroes" and the American Western "Hang 'Em High."

The documentary will offer fans a rare and personal look into the Hollywood icon, visiting film locations and sites where his movies were created, including the costume department and the Eastwood Scoring Stage on the Warner Bros. lot. Eastwood will also offer candid and humorous interviews about his film, why he choose to do them and numerous clips from his various works.

Very cool!! If anyone deserves this, it's Mr. Eastwood. :cool: :D

I'm sure Clint would say "Go ahead, make my Birth-day!" This is a well deserved tribute for an iconic actor and director.

Yep, the whole thing should "make his day". :lol: :wave:

Clint is still one of the few legends left in the game. I wonder if anyone who was on his first movie, Revenge of the Creature knew what they had then? :lol:

Happy birthday Clint. He's definitely a legend and i like most of his action and western movies. I was mad that he didn't kill those asian gangbangers in Gran Torino movie. If he would've been Dirty Harry in that, they would've been dead hahahahahahahahahaha.

Yep, the whole thing should "make his day". :lol: :wave:

Remember Sandra Locke? Oh what a horrible period that was. As good as actor as he was his movies got much better when he directed them.
A True Icon

Whatever happened to Sondra Locke? I know that she and Clint were an item for many years although they never married, but didn't they have a kid together?

Finally, he's getting the respect he deserves. Go Clint!!
