One of my classmates was Edward G. Robinson's granddaughter. Our school had a dance and he attended. He danced with many of the girls. He was so kind, gentle and had a wonderful sense of humor. A true gentleman in every sense of the word.
My favorite Clint Eastwood story: he was walking on the pier in Monterey with his first wife. He stopped and gave a few folks his autograph. One boy around nine or ten kept following him around and stridently demanding his autograph. Eastwood kept growling at him to stop. Of course, people began glaring at him for denying this cute kid. Finally, the kid all but screamed for the autograph. Eastwood stopped cold and in his best Dirty Harry voice told the boy to shut up. We all gasped. "But, Dad, you give it to everyone else!" Nice guy.
