Henry moved to Los Angeles, California and enrolled in the "Passadena Playhouse". Over the course of time, Eastwood has become a highly respected American director. During his third year in the University, Henry was awarded a scholaship, the first of its kind, to attend an acting school, by the Government of Puerto Rico. He has chosen a wide variety of films to direct, some clearly commercial, others highly personal. Unlike many actors who also direct, Eastwood frequently directs films he does not appear in. He also worked part-time as an interpreter. Eastwood developed directing as a second career, and has, indeed, generally received greater critical acclaim for his directing than for his acting. There he proceded to study political science and acting. He expanded his repertoire again with the love story, The Bridges of Madison County (1995), and took on more work as director, much of it well received, including Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil (1997) and Mystic River (2003).

Henry graduated from high school as class president and soon after enrolled in the University of Puerto Rico (Universidad de Puerto Rico). The following year, Eastwood gave a fine performance as a guilt-ridden Secret Service agent in the thriller In the Line of Fire. There he discovered his roots and grew to love the land he had never known before. The film was nominated for nine Oscars, including Best Actor for Eastwood, and won four, including Best Picture and Best Director for Eastwood. In 1946, when Henry was 13 years old, his family returned to Puerto Rico. He starred in and directed the gritty, cynical western, Unforgiven in 1992, taking on the role of an aging ex-gunfighter, long past his prime. His parents were very supportive and always encouraged him to pursue his dreams. But Eastwood rose surprisingly to stardom yet again in the 1990s.

As a child, this acting experience was all he needed to convince him that's all he'll ever want to be. He then started taking on more personal projects such as directing Bird (1988), a biopic of Charlie 'Bird' Parker, and starring in and directing White Hunter, Black Heart (1990), an uneven, loose biography of John Huston. When Henry was 8 years old, he participated in a school play where he acted as a woodcutter. After much less successful films like Pink Cadillac (1989), and The Rookie (1990), it was fairly obvious Eastwood's star was declining as it never had before. Henry is the first born son of Gloria and Enrique Delgado Sr., who migrated to New York from Puerto Rico in the early 1930's. Although it was a success overall, it did not have the box office punch his previous films had achieved. Henry Darrow (born Enrique Tomas Delgado, Jr. on September 15, 1933 in New York City) is an actor who is best remembered for his role of "Manolito" in the popular 1960's television western series called "The High Chaparral". He did make his fifth and final Dirty Harry movie, The Dead Pool (1988).

But the passing of time made it harder for him to be a believable tough guy. President Reagan even used his famous "make my day" line in one of his speeches. It was the fourth Dirty Harry film, Sudden Impact (1983) that made Eastwood a viable star for the eighties. However his career appeared to be on the wane.

As the late seventies approached he found more solid work in comedies like Every Which Way But Loose (1978). The Outlaw Josey Wales (1976) was an important contribution to the western genre. Eastwood continued to take cop, western and thriller roles, including sequels to Dirty Harry: Magnum Force (1973), The Enforcer (1976), Sudden Impact (1983), and The Dead Pool (1988). Many have said that Eastwood's portrayal of the tough, no-nonsense cop touched a nerve with many who were just plain fed up with crime in the streets.

The film has been credited with inventing the 'loose-cannon cop genre' that has been imitated even to this day. But it was his role that year as the hard edged police inspector Harry Callahan in Dirty Harry that gave Eastwood one of his most memorable roles. He starred in the thriller Play Misty for Me (1971), and The Beguiled (1971). 1971 proved to be one of his best years in films.

His talents proved equal to all these tasks. Paint Your Wagon (1969) was still a Western, but a musical. Kelly's Heroes (1970) combined tough guy action with offbeat humor. However he also began to branch out. In Where Eagles Dare (1968) he had second billing to Richard Burton but was paid $800,000 (rather more than a fistful).

Stardom brought more roles, though still in the 'tough guy' mold. All three films were hits, particularly the third, and Eastwood became an instant international star, redefining the traditional image of the American cowboy. In these and his third film with Leone, The Good, the Bad and the Ugly (Il Buono, il brutto, il cattivo) (1966) he found one of his trademark roles, the mysterious "man with no name". But Eastwood found even bigger and better things with Sergio Leone's A Fistful of Dollars (Per un pugno di dollari) in 1964, and soon followed it with For a Few Dollars More (Per qualche dollaro in pił) (1965).

As Rowdy Yates, he made the show his own and became a household name around the country. In 1959 he got his first breakthrough with the long-running Television series, Rawhide. He began work as an actor, appearing in such B-films as Tarantula and Francis in the Navy. Before acting, he was a member of the United States Army.

Born in San Francisco, the son of a steel worker, Eastwood started a business related degree at Los Angeles College, but dropped out. These include Dirty Harry and "The Man with No Name" in Sergio Leone's "Spaghetti Westerns".
