Clint Eastwood is one of Hollywood’s longest-working actors, having spent about seven decades in the industry and counting. At 94, he is still in the business and is set to release Juror 2 this November. He once revealed what he considered the worst movie ever made, where he played the supporting lead.
Clint hit his acting breakthrough with Western movies in the ‘60s, starting with Rawhide and the Dollars Trilogy, which opened doors for more similar roles and a loyal fan base. Despite his undeniable success, Clint has had his share of unimpressive work, although too few to taint his career.
What is Clint Eastwood’s worst movie?
Clint named Ambush at Cimarron Pass as his worst movie ever during a 2015 interview with The Hollywood Reporter. He starred alongside Scott Brady in the Western, which was hurriedly created in one week. Fans can watch the hour-long film on YouTube, including reviews from critics.
On watching the 1958 release for the first time at North Hollywood, Clint was so disappointed that he considered giving up acting. He decided to return to school and take up another career path, however that same year, he landed his part as Rowdy Yates in Rawhide.
A career highlight and transition
Despite Clint’s career taking an upward turn with Rawhide, he was unfulfilled and grew tired of the series, which eventually ended in the mid-60s. Next came a part in the spaghetti Western A Fistful Of Dollars, which was Clint’s chance to play an antihero, unlike his previous likable characters.
In 1971, the legendary actor directed his first film Play Misty For Me, and has since worked on more projects including Unforgiven and Million Dollar Baby— both of which earned him Oscars for best director. Clint is set to retire after Juror No. 2, which is reportedly his 40th feature film.
