Women's
Boxing NOT new to Clint Eastwood!
By Sue TL Fox
April 8, 2004(APR
8, 2004) In the "Movie Land" news this week, it has been reported that actor Clint
Eastwood is set to direct and star in a boxing-themed 'Million Dollar
Baby' based on a movie about a fighter-turned-trainer who ends up training a
woman in her early 30's who wants to box.
| BUT this will NOT be
Eastwood's first exposure to the world of women wanting to box! In
the late 1970's, he attended fights that featured Lavonne Ludian who
happened to be "very good" friends with Eastwood, according to Ludian.
Ludian told WBAN that when he was making a movie that the whole crew
attended one of her fights. |
