Sondra Locke RIP

[mpcincal]

Girlfriend, and frequent co-star, of Clint Eastwood during the 1970s and 80s. Their relationship ended badly and she ended up suing him for palimony and then for fraud, claiming he sabotaged her career.

I first saw her in the Eastwood flick "Every Which Way But Loose" as a kid and was always captivated by her.

She kept a very low profile in her later years, as evidence by the fact she actually died on Nov. 3 and has already been laid to rest, and the news just came out this week.

She was sensational in Sudden Impact.

Nov. 3? That’s bizarre and somewhat remarkable in this era.

Yeah, the only other instance like that I can recall is when Beth Howland, the actress who played Vera in the TV series "Alice" died at the end of 2015, and they didn't release the news until almost five months later.

She was amazing in The Blind Side

Total 70's babe who may have owed her career to a horrible, abusive man.

The link had an embed for the preview of the movie The Heart is a Lonely Hunter. Kind of want to see it now.

My first experience with Locke was as a boy who loved Every Which Way But Loose. She had a presence.
