Sondra Locke was born May 28, 1944 as Sandra Louise Smith, probably in Madison, Alabama.

In June 1975, Warner Bros. offered her the part of Clint Eastwood's romantic interest in "The Outlaw Josey Wales" (1976). It was a rather minor role, but Locke realized Eastwood's popularity would draw large audiences and thus provide exposure she needed to revitalize her dormant career. In early October 1975, the complementary pair fell hard for each other on location in Page, Arizona. "We were almost living together from the very first days of the film," Locke remembered.

Eastwood and Locke reteamed for his actioner "The Gauntlet" (1977), slapstick adventure-comedy "Every Which Way But Loose" (1978), its sequel "Any Which Way You Can" (1980), the quirky western satire "Bronco Billy" (1980) and the fourth, darkest, most ambitious "Dirty Harry" vehicle, "Sudden Impact" (1983). All were stellar box office performers that cemented the twosome as filmdom's most visible couple.
