Episode 3 – Witness to History
Episode 4 – Reinventing the Western
Episode 5 – An Actor’s Director
Episode 6 – No Holds Barred
Episode 7 – Fighting for Justice

From October 6 through November 29, Eastwood’s legacy will be honored with an exhibition in Dallas, Texas.

On October 16 and 23, TCM will air Eastwood programming, including feature films and two episodes of the docuseries per night. This fall, CNN will feature editorial content highlighting Eastwood’s illustrious career and the docuseries. Also in the fall, Warner Bros. will re-release six Eastwood films — American Sniper, Gran Torino, Dirty Harry, The Outlaw Josey Wales, Unforgiven and The Bridges of Madison County — in select theaters.
Eastwood is a four-time winner of the Academy Award. He won his first Oscars, for Best Director and Best Picture, for the 1992 Western Unforgiven, which received a total of nine nominations, including one for Eastwood for Best Actor. He won two more Oscars for Milion Dollar Baby. He is also the winner of the Motion Picture Academy’s Irving Thalberg Memorial Award and the Hollywood Foreign Press Association’s Cecil B. DeMille Award.
As a director, he’s known for his effective working style on set, which includes minimal takes and five-hour days. He has also developed a reputation for delivering his films under budget and on time, a trait that was highlighted in a recent video retrospective featuring directors such as Martin Scorsese, Steven Spielberg, Mel Gibson and others.
