Early Life and education

Margaret Neville Johnson is now at the age of 93, born on October 16, 1931. She was born in the United States. Her mother was Edith Neville, who worked as a music teacher at Northwestern University. Her father’s name is less clearly documented. She had at least one sibling, a brother, Gilbert Fre­de­olph Johnson, Jr.

Maggie was attending the University of California, Berkeley, scheduled to graduate in June 1953, at the time she met Clint Eastwood on a blind date.

Personal Life

Maggie Johnson and Clint Eastwood first met in early 1953 when she was a student at UC Berkeley and working as a secretary for an auto parts supplier, Industria Americana. They were blind-dated, became engaged in October 1953, and married on December 19, 1953 in South Pasadena, California.

During their marriage, Eastwood had several extramarital affairs. One resulted in a daughter, Laurie, born in 1954 to another woman, who was adopted; Eastwood was not aware of that earlier. Another child, Kimber Lynn, was born in 1964 to Roxanne Tunis while Eastwood was still married to Johnson.

Johnson and Eastwood had two children together: their son Kyle Eastwood, born May 19, 1968, and daughter Alison Eastwood, born May 22, 1972. The marriage eventually ended; they divorced in 1984. Johnson reportedly received around USD 25 million in the divorce settlement.

Career

Before marrying, Maggie Johnson worked as a secretary for auto-parts supplier Industria Americana. She also worked as a model (swimsuit modelling among other kinds). She had occasional appearances on television. For instance, she appeared in episodes of Mannix and Ironside in the early 1970s.

She also appeared on The Merv Griffin Show and at the AFI Life Achievement Award: A Tribute to John Ford in 1973. Beyond these appearances, she did not pursue a major acting career. Her public work largely is linked to her relationship with Eastwood and being the mother of his children.

Net worth

Maggie Johnson’s current net worth is estimated at around USD 25-30 million. Much of this stems from the divorce settlement with Clint Eastwood, along with some earnings from modelling and acting work.
