Clint forged his career in the cruel, sun-parched badlands of…Western Europe. His spree of so-called Spaghetti Westerns under the direction of Italian filmmaker Sergio Leone not only redefined a fading genre, but positioned Clint as king gunslinger in front of and behind the camera for decades to come. As director, he's scored a fistful of Oscars forMillion Dollar Baby and Unforgiven, noms aplenty, and the distinction of becoming the most newsworthy figure in a presidential election he's not even involved in. Ride on, cowboy.
