How did Clint Eastwood learn horsback riding?

I was told by a lady in Big Bear Ca. ( a small shop owner ) that she did. This was more than 30 years ago and even if she is still alive today

I'm sure the shop is gone. Unfortunately I don't remember her name.

She did show me her SAG card that she said that he got for her as a Thank You from him. She also showed me many photos of them together. True ?

You will have to decide for yourself like I did.

What kind of gun did Clint Eastwood use in High Plains Drifter?

He used a huge variety of guns in his many movies. A few of the revolvers that I know of :

Remington Model 1858 in Pale Rider

Colt 1851 Navy in The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly

Single Action Army (Colt Model 1873) in A Fistful of Dollars, For A Few Dollars More, Hang 'Em High, Two Mules for Sister Sara, Joe Kidd, High Plains Drifter

Colt 1860, Colt 1849 Pocket, and Walker Colt 1847 in The Outlaw Josey Wales

and of course, the Smith and Wesson model 29 with 8 3/8" barrel in Dirty Harry, Magnum Force, The Enforcer, and The Dead Pool.

and lets not forget the Winchester Model 70 .458 Win Mag in Dirty Harry as he is on the rooftops.

it was a 44 magnum auto magnum, and a 42 magnum.

What is the connection between pale rider and high plains drifter?

In high plains drifter Clint plays an ex law man in who returns to the town which failed to help him when he was attacked by the same criminals who again are terrorising them. He seeks his revenge on the outlaws and the the town at the same time by playing on their cowardice and making ludicrous demands for his help in dealing with the criminals.

Later in the film it develops/ strongly suggests that he is dead, especially when in the closing shot he disappears on the horizon. Leading you to believe he is a vengeful ghost after those who wronged him.

Pale rider sees a similarly themed character in that he appears from nowhere to help a group of honest prospectors from the terrorising of a rich industrialist.

The character, under the guise of a nameless preacher, rides a white horse like the biblical apocalyptic death bringer, habitually vanishes in a blink of an eye and reappears and displays great physical strength beyond human capability to display the power of faith when confronted by an unbeatable giant of a henchman.

The biggest clue is the fact that a corrupt sheriff and his deputies, (hired by the industrialist to deal with Clint after all other attempts have failed), claim to have experienced a similar character before when his description is given. But they dismiss the preacher as the same as they killed him. This with the bullet scaring on the preachers back and the angry recognition by the Marshall when he finally gets to see the preachers face as he is killed denote that the character preacher is supernatural. Again as with high plains drifter he simply disappears at the end.

All of this is compounded by interview evidence given by Clint eastwood.

What type of cigar does Clint Eastwood smoke in the old cowboy movies he made like a fistful of dollars and the good the bad and the ugly?

Clint Eastwood said in a recent interview that he brought the cigars from the US & they were called "Virginians" & described them as a strong smoke that put him in a foul mood. He liked them cause the were long & skinny & he would chop them into thirds to fit in his pocket.

Traditional Toscani dry cured cigars (in the vein of DeNobili's) were my guess for a long time due to it being shot in Italy, but alas, this is not the case.

It has long been speculated that what he was smoking was the nub of a Marsh Wheeling cigar ( http://www.broadleafcigars.com/wheeling.htm ) which is probably the most period accurate smoke that you can still buy. They are a 7" x 34 ring smoke & can be considered hearty in comparison to other smokes of it's ilk.

I believe that Clint's "Virginian" brand smoke was any one of the million different Marsh Wheeling style knock off brands that was available in the 1960's. I can't find a google reference for it, so I am sure the brand is long dead & gone, but Wheeling's still exist if you want the experience.

What kind of hat does Clint Eastwood wear in Unforgiven?

The majority of Eastwood's iconic costume from the Dollars Trilogy was bought second hand, so finding any sort of "brand" is more or less impossible. The hat's distinguishing features are its high telescope crown and slightly curled, bound brim. Also central to the hat's look was its leather band. Reproductions of these items can be purchased from various hat makers online, but will set you back a bit. the cheapest one I've found still runs over 100 dollars, with most costing around $200-$400.

What kind of cigarettes does Clint Eastwood smoke in the movie Gran Torino?

Clint Eastwood did not smoke in the Dirty Harry movie. Clint Eastwood is well-known for smoking Toscano cigars in his Westerns (A Fistful Of Dollars, Joe Kidd, The Good The Bad And The Ugly, etc)

Clint Eastwood was smoking Toscano cigars in the Spaghetti Westerns directed by Sergio Leone. Expertly and insightfully handmade in Italy, Toscano is a tough cigar for tough people. This cigar has roots that trace all the way back to 1818 when it was first introduced in Lucca, in the Tuscany region of Italy. It is made using fire-cured Kentucky tobacco and has an elliptical shape (thicker midsection with slimmer ends).

Toscano cigars are still made in Italy using the same techniques which are passed down from almost 200 years ago. If you reside/live in the US, you can purchase them at ItalianSmokes' website.

ItalianSmokes is the sole authorized importer and distributor of Toscano cigars in the USA. There are counterfeit (i.e. fake) and contraband Toscano cigars which are heavily discounted, so be careful where you buy them from.

What type of gun the did Clint eastwood use in dirty harry?

The gun depicted in the film was a Smith & Wesson Model 29 .44 Magnum, which was in fact the exact same gun that was used for filming. However, there have been rumors that the nearly identical Model's 25 or 57 were used instead, due to lack of availability of the Model 29 itself and that of blank shots (which would have had to have been fabricated by the producers especialy for the 29.) In light of these rumors, it has been backed by several of the film's producers, including its co-writer, that the truly was "the most powerful handgun in the world," the S&W model 29 .44 Magnum. A side note, the handgun has since been surpassed by several later firearms as "the most powerful handgun in the world." Not to say that it couldn't do to one's self what Eastwood famously stated it could.
