Fantastic borderless 11x14-inch portrait, firing his gun in the spaghetti western A Fistful of Dollars (1964), boldly signed in blue Sharpie marker in-person for a busy New York City-based autograph hound about 15 years ago. In very good condition and incontrovertibly authentic. No-nonsense leading man Clint Eastwood rose to fame playing "man's man" icons the Man with No Name in Sergio Leone's spaghetti westerns A Fistful of Dollars (1964), For a Few Dollars More (1965) and The Good, the Bad and the Ugly (1966), and Harry Callahan in the Dirty Harry cop film series.  More recently, he has demonstrated considerable skill as a filmmaker.  For his work in Unforgiven (1992) and Million Dollar Baby (2004), he snagged Academy Awards for Best Director and Producer of the Best Picture, and received Best Actor nods.  Eastwood is fondly remembered by horror, sci-fi and fantasy buffs for two films made way back when he was a nobody:  Revenge of the Creature (1955) and Tarantula (1955).
