william smith
in 1978, eastwood starred in "every which way but loose" an uncharacteristic, offbeat comedy role. eastwood played philo beddoe, a trucker and brawler who roamed the american west, searching for a lost love, while accompanying his best brother/manager orville and his pet orangutan, clyde. the script, written by jeremy joe kronsberg had been turned down by many other big production companies in hollywood and most of eastwood's production team agents all thought it was ill-advised. bob hoyt, with whom eastwood had contacts through his malpaso secretary judy hoyt, as well as eastwood's long term friend fritz manes, thought it showed promise and eventually convinced warner brothers to buy it. an orangutan named manis was brought in to play clyde, geoffrey lewis as brother orville, beverly d'angelo as his girlfriend, and sondra locke as lynn halsey-taylor, the country and western barroom singer.
