Clint Eastwood made Eli Wallach's day, so to speak.

Eastwood was generous enough to share his hotel room - and bed - with his co-star in "The Good, the Bad and the Ugly," Wallach recalled at a tribute to the actor Monday in New York."I'm the only man who can say I shared a bed with Clint Eastwood," Wallach said at the Film Society of Lincoln Center tribute.

Liam Neeson recalled that Eastwood gave him his big chance by casting him in the 1988 film "The Dead Pool."
