Sandra Louise Anderson

 Sandra Louise Anderson (May 28, 1944 – November 3, 2018), better known as Sondra Locke.

She made her film debut in 1968 in The Heart Is a Lonely Hunter, for which she was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress. She went on to star in such films as Willard, The Outlaw Josey Wales, The Gauntlet, Every Which Way But Loose, Any Which Way You Can and Sudden Impact. She had worked with Clint Eastwood, who was her companion for over 13 years. Locke starred as a bitter heiress who joins a traveling Wild West show in Bronco Billy (1980), her only film with Eastwood not to become a major commercial success. She cites Bronco Billy and The Outlaw Josey Wales as her favorites of the movies they made together. The couple's final collaboration as performers was Sudden Impact (1983), the highest-grossing film in the Dirty Harry franchise. From 1967 until her death, Locke was married to Gordon Anderson. However, he was rumored to be homosexual, and the marriage was never consummated, according to Locke. Her relationship with Eastwood ended in 1989 with accusations from both sides: Locke pointed to Eastwood’s infidelities and his tapping of her phone, while he complained that his generosity was being exploited by Locke and Anderson. In the seven years after their split, Locke filed two lawsuits against him, first for palimony in 1989, fighting him in court for a year, all while battling breast cancer and undergoing a double mastectomy, settling in 1990; then for fraud in 1996, when a producing and directing deal at Warner Bros. Locke claimed that she was frozen out of Hollywood after her breakup with Eastwood. She died from cancer at age 74 on November 3, 2018, suffering from breast and bone cancer.
