Clint Eastwood’s secret daughter grew up unaware of her Hollywood roots. Raised by a foster family, she only discovered her famous father as an adult. Despite leading a quiet life as a teacher, Laurie Murray now shares a strong bond with Clint — and their resemblance is uncanny.
Clint’s secret daughter, Laurie Murray, was given up for adoption at birth by her mother, who never informed the Hollywood star of her pregnancy. Laurie only discovered her biological father’s identity as an adult while searching for her biological parents.
Laurie, 70, grew up in Seattle after being adopted by a local couple and decided to search for her biological parents more than three decades ago. Her deep desire to discover her origins led her to hire someone to help her find her roots.
During their investigation, they discovered that her birth mother had listed Clint Eastwood’s name on the paperwork. “Clint Eastwood didn’t even know she was pregnant, as far as we know,” a close friend revealed.
Laurie’s birth mother, who was reportedly in a serious relationship with Clint in Seattle while he was engaged to his first wife, decided to give the baby up for adoption after their relationship ended.
Despite Laurie’s attempts to connect, her birth mother did not want to be contacted, leaving Laurie to approach Eastwood on her own. While the details of their initial meeting remain private, the filmmaker’s reaction to discovering he had another daughter has been described as positive and welcoming. “It was obviously a huge shock to Laurie, but I think Clint was incredibly accepting of her and the situation,” the friend continued. Laurie and Clint quickly formed a close bond, sharing a love of golf and the outdoors.
