After achieving success in the Western TV series Rawhide, Eastwood rose to international fame with his role as the “Man with No Name” in Sergio Leone’s Dollars Trilogy of spaghetti Westerns during the mid-1960s and
as antihero cop Harry Callahan in the five Dirty Harry films throughout the 1970s and 1980s.
Eastwood first captured widespread attention with his role in the popular Western television series Rawhide, which aired from 1959 to 1965. His portrayal of Rowdy Yates introduced audiences to his calm, commanding screen presence and laid the foundation for what would become one of the most iconic careers in film history. However, it was his collaboration with Italian director Sergio Leone that truly propelled him to international fame.
