The Story behind Kimber’s birth
Clint Eastwood was married to Margaret Johnson since December 1953. By the time, the two of them were dating, Clint also had a relationship with a woman from Seattle who gave birth to his first child. The news regarding this came much later in his life. The marriage between Clint and Maggie had problems since the very start. Clint had just started his career and both of them were very young to take on a serious relationship.
Clint Eastwood first started getting recognition for his role in the CBS series ‘Rawhide’ in 1958. This is the set where he first met Kimber’s mother Roxanne Tunis who was a dancer and a stuntwoman for the second season of Rawhide. Both of them married separate people; although Roxanne was separated from her husband at that time. Thus started a Hollywood affair that reportedly lasted for 14 years and even resulted in the birth of Kimber Lynn Eastwood.
Her Birth and Early Life
Kimber Lynn Eastwood was born on June 17, 1964, in Los Angeles, California, USA. Her existence was kept secret from the public for a very long time and her identity was only reported in 1989 by the National Enquirer. Her birth certificate does include Roxanne and Clint as her parents. At the early stages of her life, Clint’s wife might not have known about the birth of her husband’s love child but it is heavily implied that as time went by she knew about the affair happening on the set.
Staying away from the public scrutiny, Kimber’s life was able to live in a normal environment where she was able to get love from both of her parents. Since all of her early life was kept under wraps, there is very little information regarding her childhood or academic qualifications.
