The following year, Eastwood and Locke worked together again in "The Gauntlet. Manes said that Eastwood was completely in love with Locke for the first four years of their relationship. However, he never showed any interest in starting a family with her and even cheated on her. Things complicated in when Locke got pregnant. Given that he was still married to Johnson, Eastwood told his mistress that the time was not right for them to have children and persuaded her to terminate the pregnancy.
Just like what Brolin did, Locke agreed and got an abortion. The following year, she got pregnant again, and he pressured her to have an abortion again.
Locke later claimed he also persuaded her into having a tubal ligation sterilization. After over a decade together, Eastwood started drifting away from the relationship. Instead of breaking things up with Locke face to face, he just stopped paying attention to her and turned to other women. To end their relationship for good, Eastwood changed the locks of the Bel-Air house he had previously gifted Locke, gathered all her belongings, and left them in storage.
Eastwood probably never expected that Locke would've taken matters to court to file a palimony suit. In her written statement, the actress detailed how he kicked her out of the house. One week before changing the locks, Eastwood complained that Locke was "sitting" on his only property in Los Angeles and wanted her to move.
Since she was filming her second movie, "Impulse," at the time, she asked him to hold off their breakup conversation until she finished shooting the film. She claimed she had been thrown out of her house by the man she thought was the love of her life. It could well be that Locke was the victim of macho mind games, and her case was an eerie echo of the critic Pauline Kael who was suckered into temporarily quitting her job at the New Yorker by Warren Beatty for a similarly unproductive production deal.
And Locke was a serious-minded if underused director. Her fantasy-parable Ratboy produced by Eastwood was the subject of much critical bafflement, mockery and head-scratching, but it gained a certain cult status: the LA Times called it a fairytale with a cutting edge. As for Eastwood, there was no doubting what Locke thought. He was all rat.
Earlier, in Josey Wales , she was the young granddaughter of a woman, rescued from Comanches by the revenger Wales. As for Eastwood, he appeared mildly bemused at the way the orangutan stole the show, but it was all playing sweet music at the box office. But it was her destiny to be linked forever with Clint Eastwood , whose partner she was from the mids to the late s.
But the pair became trapped in one of the most notoriously toxic relationships in Hollywood history, an ugly, messy and abusive overlap of the personal and professional — a case of love gone sour and mentorship gone terribly wrong. Locke was already married when she met Eastwood — to a gay sculptor called Gordon Leigh Anderson, with whom she had a platonic relationship. She never divorced him and the marriage was still legal throughout her relationship with Eastwood, a fact which undoubtedly counted against her in their painful legal contest.
She claimed she had been thrown out of her house by the man she thought was the love of her life. And of course that was rather a joke cause he put Malpaso on there, and that is like putting his name on it. So, not only did he put his name on it but then also, he felt that he was in a position to tell me what to do all the time.
While Locke was directing Impulse , a psychological cop thriller starring Theresa Russell, she said Eastwood asked her to move out. She said he changed the locks at their home in Bel Air and brought in a moving company to pack up her belongings and place them in storage. Sign up for THR news straight to your inbox every day.
