RIP Sondra Locke

I remember her from lots of Eastwood movies, then they got divorced and she never really worked again. Funny how that happens.

 

I know, right? Hollywood is all about conservatives blackballing people...

 

I always thought she was great, especially in the outlaw Josie wales. RIP

 

Powerful men blackballing their exes...hell yes. Not sure why why you needed to bring politics into it.

Shouldn't you be sidelining somewhere in Katy or Tomball tonight?

 

Mmhmm. If I were still doing that for the past two decades I'm pretty sure y'all would know.

Went on a date tonight to Latin Bites. Was largely underwhelmed except for the chicken skewers. 2 for $6 during HH, and some of the tastiest I've ever had. I highly recommend.

 

Hell yes we would, every Saturday and Sunday morning around 3 AM.

None of this has anything to do with what I responded to, though. Cheers.

 

It's been so long since I seen or heard about her I pretty much forgot about her.

Right turn Clyde.

 

I really like her in the movies she appeared in with Clint Eastwood. I can't say I know any of her other work outside of that.

It's too bad she had such a difficult time after her relationship with Clint ended. I think she was diagnosed with breast cancer about the same time Clint threw her out on her ass and then she had a double mastectomy. Then, flash forward to now and it sounds like the breast cancer returned (and she had bone cancer as well). She would probably admit the best times of her life were the blissful times she had with Clint and during their heyday making all those films together. And, she was really good in them.

 

I don't think they ever married. She was already married to someone she knew in high school...some gay guy that she had an asexual relationship with. In fact, she was still married to him when she died. I think Clint kind of railroaded her career as well. It didn't end well for both of them. She basically sued him /WB for a bogus contract and won (albeit, they settled).

 

Yea she and Clint had an awkward relationship and it seemed to come out on screen at times or so I thought as I got older and paid attention. It’s sad that I had no idea she passed, never heard it nationally and not even a passing article....

 

Man, you really know a lot about Sandra Locke.

 

Well...when I read she died...I decided to read a little bit on her career b/c I was a fan of the 80s films both her and Clint were in. I was wondering why we never heard or saw her much after the Clint relationship. That led me to find she wrote a book called "The Good, The Bad, and The Very Ugly" (an obvious play on Clint's Western film) talking about her life and relations with Clint. I didn't buy and read the book. But, I found an in-depth review which I read that provided details on the book and quotes from an interview with her. I don't really care what kind of man Clint Eastwood is but he is not painted in a good light based on some of the things she said he did during and after their relationship. She painted him as an actor with a big ego who had people do his dirty work for him when he wanted to sever relationships...either business or personal. He wouldn't do it to your face. She claims he never even told her it was over in a conversation. She came home to find her clothing in boxes on the sidewalk with the locks changed on the house she claims he gifted to her during the relationship.

But, yea, I wasn't stalking her or anything. lol. Just a natural curiosity that came up when she died as far as what happened to her. She pretty much disappeared after Clint. And, it turns out, Clint had a little something to do with that.

 

Uh...does ‘she’ have an Adam’s apple?
