The filmmaker and actor Clint Eastwood owns the famous Carmel-by-the-Sea hotel; he was elected mayor of the town in 1986 and served for a year.
According to legend, Sandera never left the town. Despite his fame as an actor (in films like Dirty Harry and Unforgiven) and filmmaker (on films like American Sniper and Gran Torino),
Eastwood kept his private life, including his romance with Sandera, under wraps. Regardless, Sandera’s backing and influence were clear throughout Eastwood’s promotional appearances and events, as she often appeared beside him.
