Clint Eastwood Had To Fight To Make Million Dollar Baby

Clint Eastwood’s 2004 sports drama Million Dollar Baby centers on a boxing trainer who helps a female amateur boxer follow her dreams. The movie won four Academy Awards, including Best Picture, despite being in “development hell” for years. Few studios wanted to work with Eastwood and invest money into the project. Eastwood is a versatile Hollywood showman who is known as much for his acting as he is his directing. He starred in numerous westerns in the ’60s and is widely remembered as “Dirty Harry.” Eastwood has also directed many of the films he starred in.
