The American Film Institute is honoring actor/director Clint Eastwood with an honorary Doctorate of Fine Arts degree! Last week he was presented with the honorary degree for his “contribution of distinction to the art of the moving image” during their commencement ceremony for the 2009 graduating class.
During his speech he reflected on his early filmmaking experiences:
“I never went to a film school because they didn’t have them when I started out. But after doing more than 50 films as an actor and 30 as a director I would have thought I could have graduated before this.”
Congrats!
