Published in Daily Trivia

In the early 1950s, Clint Eastwood signed a $75-a-week contract with Universal to do walk-ons in low-budget horror flicks like Revenge of the Creature. He was fired when studio executives decided his Adam's apple protruded too much for him to be star material. For some time, Eastwood took on odd jobs, such as digging swimming pools, to augment what little money he could make from small parts in TV series like Highway Patrol. However, once he was cast as Rowdy Yates on the TV western Rawhide in 1958, Eastwood's star began to shoot to the top.
