Thank you for your investigation, honkytonkman. That gala photo is sure striking - maybe it's taken from somebody's Instagram (after all, there were other people attending), but even then, what about those recordings of Clint playing golf and feeding geese?
Meanwhile, the Q&A took place and "Clint" answered new questions. They mostly follow the same playbook - keep working hard, do what you think is best, you know the deal. Some of the answers that I found somewhat surprising include:
1) "Clint" says they first met Lee Van Cleef in Universal in the 1950s, when they were both contract players there. Was Van Cleef ever a contract player at Universal?
2) "Clint" says his favorite director is Steven Spielberg. Really? I was expecting John Ford, or Howard Hawks. Maybe he understood it as living director.
3) "Clint" says he thinks the inspiration for Leo DiCaprio's character in Once Upon A Time In Hollywood was Steve McQueen, not him. I guess it's not that far off to assume he has seen the film, but still - we rarely see him talk about recent pictures that are not his own.
4) Asked why he never wrote a script, "Clint" says he had great script writers (a standard Clint answer), but that he did rewrite some of them. Now that's something I did not expect. Did he mean he had somebody rewrite them? That's still somewhat strange.
Either way, unless we see Suzanne upload a picture or a recording of Clint in which he acknowledges the account, I don't think we are ever going to confirm its authenticity. Maybe if one of his relatives with social media presence sees it, they might also be able to say who's right. Then again, why haven't they endorsed the account already?
