Clint Eastwood and Miss Hot Tomato
New York Post, Page Six:
Clint Eastwood made it clear who won last week’s vice-presidential debate in an interview he did Saturday as part of The New Yorker Festival with the magazine’s legendary Lillian Ross.
“One of the candidates the other night seemed more prone to telling the truth than the other,” Eastwood said. The cheese-and-Chardonnay crowd laughed, presumably because they thought he meant Joe Biden.
But the laughs among the 300 worshipful movie buffs at the Directors Guild theater dried up when Ross interjected, “I liked her, too!” Eastwood went on to talk about how well “she” did, although he stopped short of a ringing endorsement.
Maggie Fitzgerald: I seen you looking at me.
Frankie Dunn: Yeah, out of pity.
