It’s wild to know that when he was born, the now iconic Empire state Building had just begun its construction. To make a living, Eastwood served as a detective and also worked as a salesman. His mother worked at IBM.

National Duty Instead of Study

He studied at Piedmont Middle school and Oakland Technical High School. He wanted to complete his further studies at Seattle University. But fate had different ideas in store for him. At that time, the Korean War had begun and America, being the global leader, had entered the fray. So instead of university study, he got enrolled in the US army during that time in 1950.
