Apart from that, the actor also had an affair with Jane Brolin. She supposedly got pregnant, and Eastwood talked her into going to Mexico to get an abortion as their affair would damage his career and marriage if it was ever discovered.

Manes said that Eastwood was completely in love with Locke for the first four years of their relationship. However, he never showed any interest in starting a family with her and even cheated on her.

Things complicated in 1978 when Locke got pregnant. Given that he was still married to Johnson, Eastwood told his mistress that the time was not right for them to have children and persuaded her to terminate the pregnancy.

Just like what Brolin did, Locke agreed and got an abortion. The following year, she got pregnant again, and he pressured her to have an abortion again. Locke later claimed he also persuaded her into having a tubal ligation (sterilization).

After over a decade together, Eastwood started drifting away from the relationship. Instead of breaking things up with Locke face to face, he just stopped paying attention to her and turned to other women.

To end their relationship for good, Eastwood changed the locks of the Bel-Air house he had previously gifted Locke, gathered all her belongings, and left them in storage. One year later, Locke dropped the suit after Eastwood supposedly duped her into doing so in exchange for a three-year development deal to direct films for Warner Bros. After dropping the case, Locke was paid $1.5 million and received an office on the Warner Bros. studio lot but never worked on a film. She also revealed Warner Bros. rejected more than 30 projects she pitched. In 1996, she accused Eastwood of fraud and intentionally interfering with her career. The actress discovered it was Eastwood who paid the money to create a dead-end for her career. LINK
