Clint Eastwood, who evolved from laconic spaghetti Western enigma to action-film icon Dirty Harry to one of American film's most honored auteurs, will ride east for the 20th Annual Palm Springs International Film Festival.
Eastwood will receive the festival's career achievement award at the annual gala Jan. 6 at the Palm Springs Convention Center. The festival runs Jan. 6-19.
Clint Eastwood is a living legend who continually raises the bar of artistic expression with each new film, whether he is acting, directing or producing.
