Clint Eastwood

Cowboys de Hollywood

Clint Eastwood señala en esta entrevista que interpretó a héroes con todas sus debilidades, a diferencia de John Wayne, que Harry Callaghan representó la lucha de la gente común contra el sistema y en defensa de los derechos de las víctimas de crímenes. Eastwood siempre fue polémico, criticado por sus actuaciones y sus opiniones, aunque también nos dio películas excelentes.

Clinton Eastwood Jr. (born May 31, 1930) is an American actor, filmmaker, musician, and political figure. After achieving success in the Western TV series Rawhide, he rose to international fame with his role as the Man with No Name in Italian filmmaker Sergio Leone's Dollars Trilogy of spaghetti Westerns during the 1960s, and as antihero cop Harry Callahan in the five Dirty Harry films throughout the 1970s and 1980s. These roles, among others, have made Eastwood an enduring cultural icon of masculinity.

John Wayne

Cowboy de Hollywood

John Wayne aparece en una entrevista (en inglés) en la que discute sobre las listas negras de Hollywood. Para los que quieren ampliar su vocabulario cantankerous y para saber sobre Carl Foreman, autor que estuvo en las listas negras por comunista.

Born in Winterset, Iowa, John Wayne grew up in Southern California. He was president of Glendale High class of 1925. He found work at local film studios when he lost his football scholarship to the University of Southern California as a result of a bodysurfing accident. Initially working for the Fox Film Corporation, he appeared mostly in small bit parts. His first leading role came in Raoul Walsh's Western The Big Trail (1930), an early widescreen film epic which was a box-office failure. Only leading roles in numerous B movies followed during the 1930s, most of them also Westerns.

Wayne's career was rejuvenated with John Ford's Stagecoach (1939) making him an instant mainstream star. He starred in 142 motion pictures altogether, including the dozens with his name above the title produced before 1939.
