Actress Karen Sharpe, known for her role on the TV show Rawhide, once shared insights into Clint Eastwood’s personal life, stating that there was a girlfriend who seemed to always be by his side, even during work hours. This girlfriend had no specific job other than being with Clint at lunch.

One of Clint’s significant relationships was with actress-dancer Roxanne Tunis, whom he met on the set of Rawhide. Roxanne gave birth to Clint’s first child, Kimber, in 1964, leading to his separation from his then-wife, Maggie.

Clint, known for his iconic role in Grand Torino, famously commented on relationships, saying, “They say marriages are made in Heaven… But so is thunder and lightning.”

Despite reconciling with Maggie, Clint’s affair with Roxanne continued well into the 1970s. By this time, Clint had become one of the biggest movie stars globally and a well-known ladies’ man in Hollywood.

Clint had affairs with several of his leading ladies, including Inger Stevens, his co-star in Hang ‘Em High, who tragically died by suicide at the age of 35. Another leading lady, Jean Seberg from Paint Your Wagon, also took her own life in Paris at the age of 40.

Clint’s romantic escapades extended to French actress Catherine Deneuve and Susan Saint James, among numerous other one-night stands.

Despite a brief reconciliation between 1968 and 1972, Clint and Maggie eventually divorced in May 1984. During this time, rumors of a passionate affair between Clint and blonde beauty Sondra Locke emerged during the filming of their second movie together, The Gauntlet, in 1977.

The actor, still married at the time, moved in with Sondra, and the two went on to collaborate on four more films before a highly publicized and acrimonious breakup after being together for 13 years.
