American actress, best remembered for films like The Outlaw Josey Wales and Every Which Way but Loose, Sudden Impact, The Gauntlet, Death Game and Bronco Billy. In a 1977 Daily Courier, it described her as being
"102 pounds and 5-foot-4" and in a 1986 Chicago Times, it mentioned
"Locke, who stands 5 feet, 4 inches, and weighs 103 pounds."

@ Arch Stanton - I'm glad I read your hot little synopsis on Sondra Locke at this time of the day (5.30pm) rather than just before bedtime, or I might have needed a bucket of cold water thrown over me or it would have infringed upon my dreams!
Either that or an extremely boring, subject-changing documentary!
(I'd read Sondra was 5ft5, but also that Clint was 6ft4!)

Rob can you alter this and change it to US actress, best known for her appearances in Clint Eastwood films such as The Outlaw Josey Wales, The Gauntlet, Every Which Way But Loose, Any Which Way You Can, Bronco Billy, and Sudden Impact. She appeared in many of his films aside from the "Orangutan movies", I'd say she's probably best known for either Josey Wales or the psycho revenge killer in Sudden Impact. I'm not sure actually she was a full 5'4", she can look 5'3" and not more than 100 pounds a lot. But Eastwood seems to have about a foot on her.
My initial impression of her was that she was not that attractive, and rather creepy and scrawny looking, wondered what Eastwood saw in her, but the more films I've watched her in the more she appeals to be and I now find her super sexy. There's something about her, something dastardly, but also very exciting and I could imagine very kinky, I can definitely see how exciting it must have been for Eastwood to cheat on his wife with her. I get the impression from her that she was an absolute beast in bed. But as evidenced by Eastwood's later hardship with her and having to change the locks, a little nuts. Like Vivian Leigh (even Grace Jones although i find her a little scary) though, I think that part of their attraction sexually is some sort of volatile temperament and emotional instability and passion which is probably super exciting as a "bit on the side" but not exactly marriage material; they must be a nightmare to live with! Like you'd wake up in the morning and find they've burned all of your clothes or something!

I met her at a book fair 20 years ago. 5'4 wearing flats on would be just about right.
