She actually died all the way back on November 3 due to complications from cancer but it's only just now being officially announced. She starred opposite Eastwood in films such as Sudden Impact and The Gauntlet.

Always thought Clint could have done better when it came to Sondra.

You knew her personally or something?

Absolutely. Never understood that coupling.

But, this is a fair point.

doesn't matter, Clint cheated during all of his relationships; probably how he ended up with so many kids

Never understood it. Not attractive at all. And a horrible actress.

Well damn... I guess I’m in the minority. I liked her.

I’ll admit she was an oddball, but I grew up watching her and Clint’s movies, so I will remember her well.

I don't remember which "Every which way" movie she sang in but it was cringey. Nice bod but she was a butterface.

Singing Sondra

She played in a lot of his films. He, like Adam Sandler, kept his guys close to him when it came to movies. I know she was in the Every which way but loose series as well as some of his westerns like Outlaw Jose Wales. Not sure which others

I believe that song she sang in Every Which Way was written by Phil Everly.

Doe-eyed blondes were a dime a dozen from the 30s-70s in Hollywood. It was all about who you blew ... and she blew the right one.

Clint has never had great taste in women IMHO so I always figured he went for the freaks in the sack with passable good looks. His early movies never required strong actors.

RIP Sondra.

I always liked Eddie Rabbit's theme song: Every Which Way But Loose

It's 70's mellow country gold.

Never cared for her acting nor her as Clint's girlfriend but dying of both bone and breast cancer is sad. RIP.

Outlaw Jose Wales.
She looked young enough to be his daughter in it. He made her do the topless rape scene with the Comancheros in it. I assumed Clint liked them young, or at least liked them to look young.

I always compared her to Jill Ireland, Charles Bronson's actress wife. She also was taken by breast cancer.

The same reason you can't figure out why so many dudes would line up for Mia Farrow.
