Clint Eastwood Facts

Clint Eastwood was in a plane that crashed into the sea in 1951. He and the pilot escaped the sinking aircraft and swam nearly 3 miles through frigid waters to reach the California coast.

Clint Eastwood saved a man's life at 83 using the Heimlich maneuver for the first time in his life. At a 2014 Pebble Beach volunteer dinner, he spotted tournament director Steve John choking on cheese and acted fast. John weighed 202 pounds. "I can't believe I'm 202 pounds and he threw me up in the air three times," John said afterward.
