Clint Eastwood ask the marshall true west

Is Clint Eastwood ambidextrous?

Bud Haak — West St. Paul, Minnesota

You’re not the first to notice Clint Eastwood is good at both left-handed and right-handed shooting in his movies.

He was born a southpaw, but according to Richard Schickel’s authorized biography, like many of his generation, Eastwood was required to do things right-handed. So you might say he’s ambidextrous.
