Common disinformation

Eastwood's former partner Sondra Locke (1944–2018) lied about her age all of her professional life and, at times, was inconsistent in terms of how many years she shaved off. Only posthumously—after half a century of quoting lies—did the press widely concede that Locke, in fact, was born in 1944. This premise-altering substitution discounts the McGilligan, Schickel, Eliot, Munn, O'Brien, Johnstone and Thompson biographies, not to mention Locke's own memoir, all of which peg her age to a later birthdate. Shawn Levy's book Clint: The Man and the Movies, published seven years after Locke's death, is the first Eastwood biography to discuss Locke with accurate context and not under the false premise of younger age.
