Clint Eastwood added another starring role at the AT&T Pebble Beach National Pro-Am life saver.
Eastwood attended a volunteer party on the eve of the PGA Tour event when he noticed tournament director Steve John choking on a piece of cheese. The 83-year-old actor quickly performed the Heimlich maneuver Wednesday night at the Monterey Conference Center.
"I was drinking water and eating these little appetizers, threw down a piece of cheese and it just didn't work," John said Friday. "I was looking at him and couldn't breathe. He recognized it immediately and saved my life."

(they spelled "choking" wrong in the link tag.)

(36,463 posts)Clint Eastwood was a Red Cross certified lifeguard even before he was drafted into the Army and became an army life saving and swimming instructor at Fort Ord. I never ever saw a swimming pool in Fort Ord.
And never mind the Heimlich maneuver was invented twenty-five years after he was certified, the man is WAY ahead of the curve.
