Alison Eastwood has had more exposure to the public than most of her siblings. She’s the second child of Clint Eastwood and Maggie Johnson, who welcomed her in 1972. Alison’s older brother, Kyle Eastwood, was born in 1968. Clint kept his kids somewhat sheltered from the limelight by raising them away from Hollywood in Carmel-by-the-Sea, California, a small coastal town. However, Alison still witnessed the downsides of fame as a young child. “We would have family dinners and people would approach him during our family time to shake hands, and get an autograph or a photo. It really annoyed my dad,” she recalled to Fox News.
But Clint’s unwanted attention didn’t deter Alison from seeking some attention of her own — in 2003, she shot a Playboy pictorial. She told Moviehole that she agreed to pose for the magazine because she was allowed to wear clothing from her apparel line, Eastwood Ranch, on the cover. Her low-rise jeans and tied-up eyelet top are both her designs. Her age also came into play. “You are only going to look and feel a certain way for a certain amount of time,” she explained.
Alison revealed that she consulted with her parents before stripping down, saying that she would have turned Playboy down if either had expressed their disapproval. “I think my mom and my dad both trust that whatever I would do would be tasteful,” she said, adding that she was pleased with the results.
