Alison Eastwood came into this world on May 22nd, 1972. Father Clint was already a full-blown celebrity and mother Maggie Johnson was an established goddess. Much less stoic and more of an extrovert than her dad, Alison was actually quite a rebellious teenager. Her small appearances in the films Bronco Billy and Tightrope (at 8 and 12 years old, respectively) proved that success could come easily, and she started to act, perhaps finding it difficult to deal with an absent father after her parents' divorce in 1978. Alison's hometown of Carmel, California, became somewhat of a playground: she rebelled, and her run-ins with the law culminated in a drunk-driving arrest for which she spent one night in jail.

Alison Eastwood made her acting debut in the 1985 suspense thriller Tightrope, starring opposite her father, Clint Eastwood, as the young daughter of a homicide detective on the trail of a serial killer. Over a decade later she once again appeared with her father in Absolute Power, cast as an art student who admires the sketching ability of a master thief. At 18 Eastwood moved to Santa Barbara where she began to study acting, later moving to Los Angeles, where she made her theater debut in the Coast Playhouse production of Woman In Control, followed by It's a Beautiful Life. She has since formed her own production company, Purple Rose Productions, and currently has two projects in development. The first, Bombshell, is based on the life of Jean Harlow and is derived from the 1993 novel by David Stenn. The second project is a film based on The Misanthrope. Currently Eastwood is in production on the feature film Suicide, The Comedy, produced by Alibi Entertainment. She stars opposite Jamie Harris, son of Richard Harris, as the inspirational ex-girlfriend of Harris' suicidal character. In addition to her acting career, Eastwood has appeared as a model on runways around the world and in such publications as Italian Elle, Tatler and American Vogue.
