Alison Eastwood | Clint Eastwood’s Daughter

Alison Eastwood, the daughter of Clint Eastwood, has made a degree for herself in the industry on her terms. In Carmel, California, Eastwood was born to father Clint and swimsuit model Maggie Johnson. She spent her childhood there before moving to Santa Barbara at 18 to pursue acting. Her natural beauty led to modeling jobs, and by the age of 22, Eastwood had graced the elusive Paris catwalks and relocated to Los Angeles.

Alison made her acting debut in the Coast Playhouse production of Woman in Control in 1984 and opposite her father in the thriller Tightrope. She started to venture out on her own in film after appearances in movies like Absolute Power, and roles in Black and White began to show a burgeoning dramatic talent. Following in her father’s footsteps, she started directing in 2007, releasing her directorial debut, Rails & Ties. Alison frequently works as an animal rights activist and hosts the Nat Geo Wild show Animal Intervention.
