Sondra Locke Biography

Sondra Locke (born May 28, 1947 in Shelbyville, Tennessee, USA) is an Academy Award and two-time Golden Globe nominated American actress, singer and film director, best known for frequently starring in films with Clint Eastwood. She made her film debut in 1968 in The Heart Is a Lonely Hunter, for which she received an Oscar nomination for Best Supporting Actress. Sondra Locke was the valedictorian of the Shelbyville Central High School class of 1962. Locke attended Middle Tennessee State University for a year, before dropping out to pursue an acting career. She won a nationwide talent search for the 1968 film The Heart is a Lonely Hunter, in which she played a lonely teenager who develops a bond with a deaf-mute man (played by Alan Arkin). Locke was nominated for an Academy Award and two Golden Globes for her role in the film. In the following years, she appeared in a number of independent films such as Willard and guest starred on television shows, including Barnaby Jones and Kung Fu.

Locke`s career gained momentum in 1976 when she played a young pioneer woman opposite Clint Eastwood in the western classic The Outlaw Josey Wales. With Eastwood as her leading man, Locke went on to star in a number of blockbuster hits. Her most notable film roles include playing a foul-mouthed prostitute in The Gauntlet, a country singer in Every Which Way But Loose and its sequel, Any Which Way You Can, a spoiled heiress in Bronco Billy, and a revenge-seeking murderess in Sudden Impact. Locke has recorded several songs, including some for the Which Way films. At one point, she was trying to get a record contract. Locke made her directing debut in 1986 with the comedy Ratboy later directed the thriller Impulse in 1990. Both films were produced by Clint Eastwood. After that, she worked only in television and independent films. Locke hasn`t worked in the film industry since 1999.

Trivia

Quotes
  • As an actor, if there`s a good role you can take it for the role`s sake and not worry about the fact that the whole story doesn`t seem to work. The actor won`t get the blame for it. You`ll do a good job and they`ll say, `The story stinks, but Sondra Locke was good in the part of whatever.` I look on acting as a great vacation now. You work a few weeks, get paid a lot of money and everyone pampers and takes care of you.
    (imdb.com)
  • In acting, you`re subject to what everyone else does to you: the light someone else puts on you, the pace someone else sets for the scene, how someone else cuts you together, what they throw away and what they keep. Pretty soon you realize, `This is great, but there must be something a little more.`
    (imdb.com)
  • "I`ve had some great parts, it`s just that you`re always looking for something that will take you in a different direction. People only see you in those boxes you`ve been most recently seen in. That way, they don`t have to think or be creative."
  • "Everyone always wants to type you. With me, I started out as a vulnerable waif and for many years that`s all anyone ever wanted me to play."
  • "No matter how big actors get, they always somehow think, `Today is it -- tomorrow everybody`s going to wake up and hate me.` "
