As the face of law enforcement in America for almost 50 years, J. Edgar Hoover was feared and admired, reviled and revered. But behind closed doors, he held secrets that would have destroyed his image, his career and his life. 


With just having seen Mr. Eastwood's most recent film, J. Edgar; I couldn't help but wonder if the director himself possessed a secret life too. 

The Brilliant and Mysterious Clint Eastwood

To tell you the truth: I don't know much about the guy--except the fact that he's been this highly successful household name in the film industry. Aren't you just a wee bit curious about what the guy (with a deep, raspy voice and piercing stare) does for fun? He might not be feared and reviled the way J. Edgar was, but admired and revered, he is! Sorry Clint, I'm going to do the unthinkable: I'm going to shoot down your tough-guy image to the ground, the way you would a bandito.
