When he announced the sad news, Eastwood requested privacy to grieve. Now, Scott, 38, has given fans a reassuring update on how the actor is doing. Scott told People of his filmmaker father: ‘He’s good. He’s doing good. ‘He’s a survivor, a trouper.’.

The film producer, who has starred in several of his father’s films, such as Invictus (2009) and Trouble with the Curve (2012), was also asked what his dad has taught him about resilience. He replied: ‘It’s in our blood. You don’t complain. You don’t whine. You just do.’.
Scott added that the 94-year-old Dirty Harry star ‘was born coming out of the Great Depression, and then he was young during World War II.’. ‘He saw a lot of struggle,’ Scott admitted. ‘There is no room for complaining.’. In a short but emotional statement issued when Sandera died, Eastwood told the world: ‘Christina was a lovely, caring woman, and I will miss her very much.’.
The two met in 2014 when Sandera was working at Eastwood’s property in the Mission Ranch Hotel. They went public with their romance the following year. ‘She lives with him in his house he used to share with [second wife], Dina. She moved in months ago,’ a source said at the time.
