Legion of honour



Clint Eastwood

PARIS: French President Jacques Chirac inducted American actor-director Clint Eastwood into the Legion of Honour, saying he represents ``the best of Hollywood.'' The Oscar-winning director was named a knight in France's elite Legion of Honour. ``France, of course, wants to pay homage to your immense talent as an actor, your genius as a director and to your place in the world of cinema,'' Mr. Chirac said in a ceremony in the presidential Elysee Palace on Saturday. ``You show the complexity of America, in all its grandeur and fragility, with its enthusiastic dreams and its worried questioning,'' he said. Mr. Eastwood said he was pleased to receive the ``wonderful honour.'' — AP
