I don't know that he really needed to do that. He was the only reason she even had a career

There's a lady (probably about 40) who's a Sondra Locke. She always seems to be there when I'm there (around 7pm).

She probably wonders "why does that guy stare at me?".

This. Every time I see her in a movie I ask myself why they didn’t pick a better actress.

No. The whole thing is a very weird story. She was "Married" to a long-time friend- but the marriage was never consummated. It was a marriage of convenience- and the guy was gay.

She was still legally married to this man while she carried on with Eastwood- living with Clint, etc. Eastwood reportedly paid for the house Locke and her "husband" had in their name- and the husband lived in.

How do I know all this shite? It was a boring hunt, last weekend on the deer stand, and at some point I happened to read an article about Eastwood's career that had all this in it.

She took eastwood to court and won a settlement for millions after their breakup. She also sued one of the studios for collaborating with him that was also settled for an undisclosed sum. So I guess there was at least some truth to him blackballing her......

I read that she was nominated for an Oscar for a role she played in the late 60s. This was pre-clint.

I always enjoyed the movies they did together. Bronco Billy is one, while not great, is a fun watch.

I miss Geoffrey Lewis... him and Clint were so funny together. And, of course, Clyde.

She starred in Sudden Impact...a movie I saw with my karate teacher 3 times.

I always thought that was a bit ironic.

The Outlaw Josey Wales was loaded with great lines.

No, but I think she was his regular booty call for many years

She wasn't a particularly good actress, so its not much of a big deal. Hate to see she died tho.


I tend to agree, but she was good in A Heart Is A Lonely Hunter.

I always thought she was pretty ugly. Hate to sound like an a-hole, but it's true.

You can see her tits in Josey Wales. She is getting raped at the time so it kinda ruins boner time.

She was a terrible actress and really odd looking as well. Meaning, he was probably the only reason she got the roles she got to begin with. Hell that fact seemed pretty obvious in every movie they were in together - she made pretty much every one worse movies then they would have been without her.

But, RIP nevertheless.

Amen. She was terrible in every movie I ever saw her in. On top of that she was pretty "meh" in the looks department.
