94 Years of Grit and Glory: The Clint Eastwood Story

Clint Eastwood declined the role of Captain Willard in Apocalypse Now, avoiding a challenging year-long shoot in the Philippine jungle that resulted in Martin Sheen’s heart attack. This decision saved him from a grueling experience.

Eastwood once held the movie rights and envisioned himself in Nothing Lasts Forever, the foundation for Die Hard. Yet, as much as we admire Clint, it’s hard to contest the iconic performances of Christopher Reeve and Bruce Willis in their respective roles.
