The untold truth of Clint Eastwood’s youngest daughter – this is Morgan Eastwood today at 26

Known for his turbulent love life as much as he’s known for his incredible roles and films, actor Clint Eastwood is one lucky man.

Throughout his career, which spans 60 years, Eastwood has won a number of awards, including four Academy Awards. His western Unforgiven, which he directed and starred in, earned him Academy Awards for Best Picture and Best Director in 1992. Some 12 years later, Million Dollar Baby won four Academy Awards, with Eastwood getting two; for Best Picture and Best Director.

Among the movies he starred in during his career are the westerns A Fistful of Dollars, For a Few Dollars More, and of course, The Good, the Bad and the Ugly, which are widely known as “spaghetti westerns,” Dirty Harry, Flags of Our Fathers, Letters from Iwo Jima, Changeling, Gran Torino and American Sniper.

The good thing about Eastwood is that despite his age, he’s not planning on slowing down as he’s got to offer even more to the film industry, both on screen and behind the camera.

Speaking to Ellen DeGeneres about getting old, the legendary actor said: “I don’t think about it. I sometimes think, when I was a little kid, I used to hang out with my grandfather who was in his nineties. And I thought… who the hell would want to live this long?”

Eastwood has eight children from two marriages and flings throughout his life. He married Maggie Johnson in 1953 and the two had two children together, Kyle and Alison. However, shortly after they tied the knot, the Million Dollar Baby director had an affair with a woman from Seattle which resulted with a daughter, Laurie, that Eastwood learned of and met later in life.

Although he remained married to Johnson until 1984, Eastwood had plenty of affairs, including that with Sondra Locke with whom he was together for nine years before he divorced his wife. Locke was also married, but she never divorced her husband.

Eastwood has daughter Kimber with a stunt-woman named Roxanne Tunis, son Scott and daughter Kathryn with Jacelyn Reeves, a flight attendant, daughter Francesca with actress Frances Fisher and another daughter, Morgan, with second wife, news anchor Dina Ruiz.

Morgan had a normal childhood besides being the daughter of a Hollywood legend. Unlike many children of famous actors, she didn’t start acting as a child, although she had minor roles in some of her dad’s movies.

Morgan, who was born in 1996, starred as a young girl on a tricycle in the 2008 film Changeling and the 2004 hit movie Million Dollar Baby. Moreover, she also had a small role in the 2009 film Johnny Mercer: The Dream’s On Me, starring alongside Julie Andrews.

It wasn’t until the show Mrs. Eastwood & Company aired on E! in 2012 that the world learned more about Morgan.

In 2019, this young lady served as an executive producer for the short I See You, in which she also starred.

Speaking with TreatyMyOCD, Morgan revealed that she had OCD, and that she has had it her entire life, but wasn’t diagnosed until she reached 20.

“My mom often jotted down her thoughts about my cuteness and quirkiness in my baby journal. She documented how I, at age two, would throw tantrums when my layered shirt sleeves didn’t line up perfectly. Of course, I don’t remember those exact moments, but I understand my toddler-aged reasoning. Twenty-something years later, I’ll still want to bawl my eyes out if something doesn’t feel ‘just right,’” she said.

“This applies to many scenarios: the manner in which I clean something unsanitary, picking my face, rotate my left shoulder while seated or walking, or adjusting my knee so that it pops a certain number of times. Oh, and obsessively purchasing things that I believe I need at that moment. If I don’t find that ‘just right’ feeling, a sense of unease and panic builds up and pulses through my veins, leading me into what feels like is going to be a permanently petrified state of mind.”

“Acquiescing to discomfort is what helps me most on a day-to-day basis. Thoughts now pass through my mind, in one side and out the other, as quickly as they appear, and that’s extremely comforting,” Morgan continued, adding that now, in 2023, she has stopped seeing doctors to seek physical explanations of what is a very mental thing.

“I exercise, even though I’ve never loved to because I know it makes my brain and body genuinely feel good. I surround myself with the greatest support system I can imagine, and I am my most authentic self around my friends, family, and even people I meet on the street, I can laugh about my idiosyncrasies. This may be a lifelong journey, but if OCD wants to try to drag me along, I’ll at least try to pick myself up and run with it,” Morgan Eastwood told TreatMyOCD.

On June 17, Morgan and her boyfriend Tanner Kooopmans announced they were engaged. He, just like Morgan, graduated from Loyola Marymount University.

We wish Morgan only the best life brings.

What Melania is calling Barron behind closed doors is finally revealed

By
Monica Pop
-

Barron Trump is the youngest son of former president and mogul Donald Trump, yet he’s living a life out of the spotlight and seems like a down-to-earth young man.

Barron was born in 2006, the same year when Donald and Melania tied the knot. He grew up in the Trump Tower in Manhattan, where he is reported to have an entire floor for himself. Although he has lived surrounded by luxury, he never had a traditional nanny while growing up. Instead, Melania took all the care of him, and that included preparing him breakfast and lunch every day.

In the past, she spoke of him as a very creative child. In a 2015 People interview, she said: “Barron is 9 years old. He needs somebody as a parent there, so I am with him all the time as you know my husband is traveling all the time.”

“We keep it down to a minimum,” Trump added. “If you have too much help, you don’t get to know your children.”

They let his creativity grow and never limit him when it comes to his interests. Speaking to Parenting, as quoted by Metro, Melania said: “In his space, the décor style of the rest of our home is mixed with what he is into: planes and helicopters.

“We let him be creative; let his imagination fly and do whatever he wants. Whatever he wants to do with his own room later on, he can do it. Whatever he wants to do with his own room he can do it. He draws on the walls, we can paint it over.

“When he was smaller, he started drawing on the walls,” she added. “His imagination is growing and important. He draws on the walls in his playroom, we can paint it over. One day he was playing bakery and he wrote ‘Barron’s Bakery’ on the wall with crayons. He is very creative, if you say to a child ‘no, no, no,’ where does the creativity go?”

Just around 20 minutes after Barron was born, his father called MSNBC’s long-running radio show “Imus in the Morning,” hosted by Don Imus, to reveal the great news.

“Everyone’s perfect,” Donald Trump, who was 59 at the time, told Imus.

“I continue to stay young, right? I produce children, I stay young,” while Melania’s website posted that the baby weighted in at 8 1/2 pounds and was 21 inches long.

Besides English, Barron also speaks his mom’s native language, Slovenian. What’s most, Mary Jordan, author of The Art of Her Deal, which focuses on Melania, Barron and his mom speak Slovenian with each other.

“There’s a unit within the family unit, and it’s Melania, her mother, her father, and Barron,” Jordan told CBS News. “And they all speak Slovenian.”

Further, Jordan said that Donald isn’t always happy when his wife and son speak Slovenian because he never learned the language himself.

“He has said it annoys him sometimes ’cause he has no idea what they’re saying,’” Jordan explained.

However, despite the fact he spends more time with his mom than his dad, Barron resembles his father in many ways. That is the reason why Melania gave him a special nickname.

“He is independent and opinionated and knows exactly what he wants,” Melania told Parenting. “He is a mixture of us in looks, but his personality is why I call him ‘Little Donald.’”

The former First Lady continued: “He likes the way he talks, the way he is. They have beautiful respect and admiration for each other.”

If you ever notice your door handle with a rubber band on it do not touch it

By
Monica Pop

Our home is our sanctuary. It is the place where we should feel safest, a place where we get to get the rest we deserve after a long and tiring day. Our home is our comfort zone and we should never feel threatened when inside.

In order to be sure that no one is violating their privacy, plenty of people install surveillance cameras on their property, but even in such cases, robbers find ways to enter people’s homes.

Recently, a Texan woman named Kim Fleming Cernigliaro shared a story in order to raise awareness and warn others of the recent trick robbers use in order to get inside your home.

Namely, she was home alone when she heard someone knocking on the door. The knocking soon turned into what sounded like pounding. However, as she wasn’t expecting anyone, she decided not to open the door.

As the knocking became even louder, she got a bit scared and decided to wait for a while before she goes outside and checks if anyone is still around.

After some time, as it looked like the person had left, she went downstairs and opened the front door and that’s when she noticed a rubber band on the door handle. Puzzled and unaware of what that might be, she decided to call the police and report the incident.

When the officers arrived at her home, they explained that other people from the area reported rubber bands being placed on their door handles and went on to explain why would robbers place them there.

As it turned out, when a homeowner answers and unlatches the door to open it, the rubber band props the latch open. This way, the criminals can easily push their way through and get inside the house. As the latch is kept open by the rubber band, the homeowner is unable to close the door and lock it.

Kim is now trying to warn others to be extra cautious when they open their door to complete strangers.

Woman gets the best of her obnoxious atheist neighbor

By

Nowadays, it seems that everyone is easily offended by everything. What’s most, many people object the idea that someone else could be right and that they could be wrong. Sadly, there are opinionated people all around us.

The following joke involves two people who have different beliefs and how they handle that. This is going to make you laugh.

A religious woman, upon waking up each morning would open her front door, stand on the porch, and scream, “Praise the Lord.”

This infuriated her atheist neighbor who would always make sure to counter back, “There is no Lord.”

One morning the atheist neighbor overheard his neighbor praying for food. Thinking it would be funny, he went and bought her all sorts of groceries and left them on her porch.

The next morning the lady screamed, “Praise the Lord, who gave me this food.”

The neighbor laughing so hard he could barely get the words out screamed, “It wasn’t the Lord, it was me.”

The lady without missing a beat screamed,

“Praise the Lord for not only giving me food but making the atheist pay for it!!“

Mother delivers a compelling lesson on respect after receiving a call from her daughter’s school

By
Monica Pop
-

Whether the following story is authentic or not, the moral behind it is that we should always stand up for our family, even when the system seems to fail us and when everyone we try to reach out to about our problems falls on deaf ears, just like one mother did.

I’m an ER Nurse. We’re not allowed to keep our phones on us, they’re to be kept in our lockers. A call comes into hospital reception on a private line for me.

Phone: “This is (teacher) from (school). There’s been an incident involving (daughter). We need you to come in.”

Me: “Is she ill or injured? Can it wait until my shift is over in two hours?”

Phone: “Your daughter has struck another pupil. We’ve been trying to call you for 45 minutes. It really is very serious.”

I go to the school and am ushered into the principal’s office. I see my daughter, a male teacher, a female counselor, the principal, a boy with blood around his nose and a red face, and his parents.

Principal: “How kind of you to FINALLY join us!”

Me: “Yeah, things get busy in the ER. I’ve spent the last hour administering over 40 stitches to a seven-year-old who was beaten by his mother with a metal ladle and then I had to deal with the police regarding the matter. Sorry for the inconvenience.”

After watching him try to not act embarrassed, he tells me what has happened. The boy had twanged my daughter’s bra and she had punched him in the face twice. I got the impression they were more angry with my daughter than the boy.

Me: “Oh. And you want to know if I’m going to press charges against him for sexually assaulting my daughter and against the school for allowing him to do it?”

They all get jittery when I mention sexual assault and start speaking at once.

Teacher: “I don’t think it was that serious.”

Counselor: “Let’s not over-react.”

Principal: “I think you’re missing the point.”

Continue…

The boy’s mother then starts crying. I turn to my daughter to find out what happened.

Daughter: “He kept pinging my bra. I asked him to stop but he didn’t, so I told Mr. (teacher). He told me to ‘ignore it.’ (Boy) did it again and undid my bra so I hit him. Then he stopped.”

I turn to the teacher.

Me: “You let him do this? Why didn’t you stop him? Come over here and let me touch the front of your trousers.”

Teacher: “What? No!”

Me: “Does that seem inappropriate to you? Why don’t you go and pull on Mrs. (Counselor)’s bra right now. See how fun it is for her. Or on that boy’s mom’s bra. Or mine. You think just because they’re kids it’s fun?”

Principal: “Mrs. (my name). With all due respect, (daughter) still beat another child.”

Continue…

Me: “No. She defended herself against a sexual attack from another pupil. Look at them; he’s a foot taller than her and twice as heavy. How many times should she have let him touch her? If the person who was supposed to help and protect her in a classroom couldn’t be bothered what should she have done? He pulled her bra so hard it came undone.”

The boy’s mom is still crying and his dad looks both angry and embarrassed. The teacher won’t make eye contact with me. I look at the principal.

Continue…

Me: “I’m taking her home. I think the boy has learned his lesson. And I hope nothing like this ever happens again, not only to (daughter), but to any other girl at this school.

I was so angry I gathered my daughter’s things and left. I reported it to the superintendent, and was assured it was strongly dealt with.

This story just goes to show, a mother will do anything to defend her child, and it’s a powerful reminder that it is never okay to be treated with disrespect.

BREAKING UPDATE In Charlotte Sena, 9, who disappeared during family camping trip at NY state park

By
Monica Pop
-

9-year-old Charlotte Sena was camping with her family when she went missing on Sept. 30 while on a solo bike ride at Moreau Lake State Park in Saratoga County, about 50 miles north of Albany. When she failed to return after around 15 minutes, her family went looking for her. At at 6:45 p.m her bike was found, but Sena was nowhere to be seen. Her mother called the police and reported that her daughter was missing after which the law enforcement began an extensive search.

Early Sunday morning an Amber Alert was issued.

“Following our exhaustive search of the park we took that step of issuing the Amber Alert because we felt that that exhaustive search, when we couldn’t find her here, it was quite possible that an abduction had taken place,” said Lt. Colonel Richard Mazzone of the Uniform Force of the State Police.

The National Center for Missing and Exploited Children stated that Charlotte “was taken under circumstances that lead police to believe that (she is) in imminent danger of serious harm and/or death.”

New York Governor Kathy Hochul remarked at a press conference on Sunday, “We are leaving no stone, no branch, no table, no cabin unturned, untouched, and unexamined in our search to find Charlotte.”

Over a thousand people, including residents, police, and forest rangers took part in the search. Bloodhounds, drones, and boats were all being used in the search of the state park.

Breakthrough in the case came when the police watching Charlotte’s family home noticed someone dropping of mail in the mailbox. Police were able to pull fingerprints off the note, which led them to a man named Ross whom they linked to a property owned by his mother. The police made entry and found him in a camper by the evening of Oct. 2.

“After some resistance, the suspect was taken into custody and immediately the little girl was found in a cabinet,” Hochul said. “She knew she was being rescued. She knew that she was in safe hands.”

Jene, Charlotte’s aunt, told NBC News that until the girl was located, it seemed as if Charlotte had “disappeared almost into thin air.”

“I mean it was, minutes, minutes between when she was last seen and when she wasn’t there anymore.”

Luckily, the girl was found safe and sound.

The man almost instantly regretted the evening he had spent with a stunning woman

By
Monica Pop
-

A young married man met a woman and she agreed to spend the night with him for $500. However, once everything ended, he felt like the night wasn’t as good as he had imagined and believed the sum he agreed to pay was a bit too much.

Before partying ways, they decided that he pays her with a check designating it as “apartment rent” that he would mail to her.

Because of his lack of satisfaction, he decided to send her half the sum agreed along with a letter clarifying his reasons for it.

He wrote:

“Dear Madam,

Enclosed, you will find a $250 check intended for your rent. I sent a different amount than originally agreed upon because, at the time of renting, I had certain expectations: the apartment had never been occupied, I anticipated ample heating, and I imagined it would be comfortable and homely. However, last night, I discovered it had been previously inhabited, lacked heating, and was excessively spacious.”

After reading the letter she received, the woman returned the check on $250 and replied:

“Dear Sir,

Firstly, I’m astounded by the notion that you expected a beautiful apartment to remain vacant indefinitely. As for heating, it is available if you know how to operate it. Concerning the room’s size, it is, in fact, quite sufficient. If you find the furnishings unsatisfactory, kindly refrain from attributing it to the landlord’s negligence! Please remit a check for the full $500, or I will have no choice but to contact your current landlord.”

This story is a reminder that we should never make assumptions and hasty decision, or we would need to face the consequences.

This teacher never expected this explanation of child birth

By
Monica Pop
-

Children are the most innocent creatures there are. They always speak their mind and are honest to the core, which can easily put them into trouble. But that’s simply in their nature, and getting mad at them isn’t what grown ups should ever do.

A primary school teacher was witnessed an unforgettable “show-and-tell” presentation on childbirth by one of her students. The little one’s words were so interesting, that her story was shared on the social media and it’s circulating there for years, making many laugh.

Grammar School Teacher recounts: “I’ve been teaching now for about fifteen years. I have two kids myself, but the best birth story I know is the one I saw in my own second-grade classroom a few years back.

“Usually, show-and-tell is pretty tame. Kids bring in pet turtles, model airplanes, pictures of fish they catch, stuff like that. And I never, ever place any boundaries or limitations on them. If they want to lug it to school and talk about it, they’re welcome.

“Well, one day this little girl, Erica, a very bright, very outgoing kid, takes her turn and waddles up to the front of the class with a pillow stuffed under her sweater. She holds up a snapshot of an infant. ‘This is Luke, my baby brother, and I’m going to tell you about his birthday. First, Mommy and Daddy made him as a symbol of their love, and then Daddy put a seed in my mother’s stomach, and Luke grew in there. He ate for 9 months through an umbrella cord.’ She’s standing there with her hands on the pillow, and I’m trying not to laugh and wishing I had a video camera rolling. The kids are watching her in amazement.

“‘Then, about two Saturdays ago, my mother starts going, “Oh, oh, oh!”‘ Erica puts a hand behind her back and groans. ‘She walked around the house for, like an hour, “Oh, oh, oh!”‘ Now this kid is doing this hysterical duck-walk, holding her back and groaning. ‘My father called the middle wife. She delivers babies, but she doesn’t have a sign on the car like the Domino’s man. They got my mother to lay down in bed like this.’ Erica lies down with her back against the wall. ‘And then, pop! My mother had this bag of water she kept in there in case he got thirsty, and it just blew up and spilled all over the bed, like psshhheew!’

“The kid has her legs spread and with her little hands is miming water flowing away. It was too much!

“‘Then the middle wife starts going push, push, and breathe, breathe. They start counting, but they never even got past 10. Then, all of a sudden, out comes my brother. He was covered in yucky stuff they said was from the play-center, so there must be a lot of stuff inside there.’

“Then Erica stood up, took a big theatrical bow and returned to her seat. I’m sure I applauded the loudest. Ever since then, if it’s show-and-tell day, I bring my camcorder – just in case another Erica comes along.”

If you like this story, here’s a bonus story with a beautiful message.

“When God created Woman, he was working late on the sixth day.

An Angel came by and asked, ‘Why spend so much time on her?’

The Lord answered, ‘Have you seen all the specifications I have to meet to shape her?’”

“‘She must function on all kinds of situations.

She must be able to embrace several kids at the same time, have a hug that can heal anything from a bruised knee to a broken heart.

She must do all this with only two hands.

She cures herself when sick and can work 18 hours a day.’”

“The Angel was impressed. ‘Just two hands? Impossible! And this is the standard model?’

The Angel came closer and touched the woman. ‘But you have made her so soft, Lord.’

‘She is soft,’ said the Lord, ‘but I have made her strong. You can’t imagine what she can endure and overcome.’”

“‘Can she think?’ the Angel asked.

The Lord answered, ‘Not only can she think, she can reason and negotiate.’

The Angel touched her cheeks. ‘Lord, it seems this creation is leaking! You have put too many burdens on her.’

‘She is not leaking. It is a tear,’ the Lord corrected the Angel.

‘What’s it for?’ asked the Angel.

The Lord said, ‘Tears are her way of expressing her grief, her doubts, her love, her loneliness, her suffering and her pride.’”

“This made a big impression on the Angel. ‘Lord, you are a genius. You thought of everything. A woman is indeed marvelous.’

The Lord said, ‘Indeed she is. She has strength that amazes a man. She can handle trouble and carry heavy burdens. She holds happiness, love and opinions.

‘She smiles when she feels like screaming. She sings when she feels like crying, cries when happy and laughs when afraid. She fights for what she believes in.

‘Her love is unconditional. Her heart is broken when a next-of-kin or a friend dies but she finds strength to get on with life.’”

“The Angel asked, ‘So she is a perfect being?’

The Lord replied, ‘No. She has just one drawback.’

‘She often forgets what she is worth.’”
