Clint Eastwood is an unstoppable force. An actor and a director who has been building his career since his first appearance on screen in 1955, Eastwood, now 94 years old, has directed and produced a new film.

The list was not what sank Bork’s nomination—the good judge was fond of Cary Grant and Alfred Hitchcock; there was nothing salacious. But there could have been, and lawmakers on both sides of the aisle were scandalized by the invasion of Bork’s privacy.
