SARKOZY HONOURS EASTWOOD WITH TOP FRENCH HONOUR
French President NICOLAS SARKOZY paid tribute to CLINT EASTWOOD on Friday (13Nov09) when he presented the movie icon with the nation’s highest cultural honour.
Eastwood was made a commander in the prestigious Legion of Honor in Paris two years after Sarkozy’s predecessor Jacques Chirac honoured the Dirty Harry star as a knight of the Legion of Honor.
The actor/director, who flew to France for the ceremony, said, “This is a wonderful honour… I really love France. I love movies, and I love the appreciation that the French people have for movies.” (KL/WNWC/KL)
