Early life

Eastwood was born in Carmel, California, the daughter of Maggie Johnson and movie star Clint Eastwood. She has a brother, Kyle Eastwood, and six half-siblings, including Kimber Eastwood, Scott Eastwood, Kathryn Eastwood, Francesca Eastwood, and Morgan Eastwood.

Eastwood attended Santa Catalina School in Monterey, California, and Stevenson School in Pebble Beach. When she was eighteen, in 1990, Eastwood enrolled at UC Santa Barbara (did not graduate) to study acting.[1]

Career

Eastwood landed some professional acting roles during her childhood and preadolescent years, making her (uncredited) film debut at the age of seven in Bronco Billy. At the age of eleven, she had a major role in the thriller Tightrope (1984). She has also worked as a runway and magazine model in Paris, posing for several European fashion magazines and Vogue (U.S. edition). In February 2003, she posed nude for Playboy.[2]

More recently, Eastwood has again appeared onscreen. Her film credits include Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil (1997), Just a Little Harmless Sex (1998), Black and White (1999), Friends & Lovers (1999), If You Only Knew (2000), Power Play (2002), Poolhall Junkies (2003), I'll Be Seeing You (2004), and Once Fallen (2010).

Eastwood made her directorial debut with Rails & Ties (2007), starring Kevin Bacon and Marcia Gay Harden.[3][4]

She has her own clothing line, called the Eastwood Ranch Apparel.

She is the founder of the Eastwood Ranch Foundation, which "provides support and financial assistance to animal sanctuaries, rescue groups and no-kill shelters responsible for the lifetime or temporary care of animals who need homes."[5]

On the small screen, she appeared in the Nat Geo Wild TV program Animal Intervention.[6] She has also been featured on the reality TV series Chainsaw Gang as one of the sculptor's girlfriends.[7] The sculptor is her now husband, Stacy Poitras, whom she married on March 15, 2013.[8]
