His face became the face of the Western hero in cinema and he acted in a host of western movies - For a Few Dollars More, The Good, the Bad and the Ugly, etc. Later, Clint Eastwood launched his own production house - Malpaso Productions - that produced and directed some riveting movies that have become the genre of their time. Hang ‘Em High, High Plains Drifter, The Outlaw Josey Wales, and Unforgiven are some of his more scintillating works.
