From the towering Western legend who paved the way for him, to the master of quiet strength who defined screen presence, to the co-star whose raw intensity in Unforgiven left Eastwood in awe — each name on this list reflects something Eastwood values most: truth, authenticity, and the ability to command the screen without unnecessary flash.
