Play Clinty For Me - By Mark Steyn - The Corner - National Review Online
Like William F. Gavin, I hugely enjoyed Clint Eastwood’s turn last night, but I’m not sure I agree that it was “unintentionally hilarious” and that “he forgot his lines, lost his way.”
Clint is a brilliant actor, and a superb director of other actors (and I don’t just mean a quarter-century ago: In the last five years, he’s directed eight films).
He’s also, as Mr. Gavin observed, a terrific jazz improviser at the piano — and, in film and music documentaries, an extremely articulate interviewee.
So I wouldn’t assume that the general tenor of his performance wasn’t exactly as he intended.
The hair was a clue: No Hollywood icon goes out on stage like that unless he means to.
