CLINT EASTWOOD The Softer Side of A HOLLYWOOD TOUGH GUY

ALISON EASTWOOD SHARES SWEET MEMORIES OF HER LEGENDARY DAD AND REVEALS HOW HE STILL INSPIRES HER

- Natalie Posner

When Alison Eastwood was a little girl, she loved to clack the clapper board on her father's movie sets. "It's usually the camera department who does it," she tells Closer, "but my father let me do it."

The daughter of Clint Eastwood and his first wife, Maggie Johnson, Alison, 50, grew up visiting movie sets but didn't have a Hollywood upbringing. Instead, her parents raised her and her brother Kyle in Pebble Beach on California's Carmel Bay. "It's a magical spot on the ocean, and there's lots of wildlife," she says.
