Clint Eastwood is said to be mourning the tragic passing of his longtime mistress, Roxanne Turin, who died in late June.<\/p>\n
Tunis, who had once been a lover of Eastwood for almost 20 years, died at the age of 93 on June 23.<\/p>\n
\u201cMy mom passed after a brief illness,\u201d Tunis\u2019 daughter Kimber, 59 \u2013 whom she shared with Eastwood \u2013 said in a statement to RadarOnline on Monday, August 7.<\/p>\n
Kimber also revealed that her 93-year-old Academy Award winner father was deeply saddened by the news and that he\u2019d extended his condolences to her and their grandson. \u201cHe is just as sad as I am,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n
An insider revealed that Tunis had been one of Eastwood\u2019s great loves, and that their bond remained strong \u201cuntil the end.\u201d<\/p>\n
The loss has apparently deeply affected the \u2018Unforgiven\u2019 star, leaving him devastated for both the loss and for his daughter Kimber.<\/p>\n
The relationship between Eastwood and Tunis began in 1964, while the Western actor was married to his first wife Maggie Johnson. The marriage to Johnson ended in 1984 after 34 years, during which they had two children \u2013 Kyle and Allison.<\/p>\n
Eastwood and Tunis had initially met in 1959 while working on the TV show \u2018Rawhide\u2019, and their relationship did overlap Eastwood\u2019s marriage to Johnson, according to RadarOnline.<\/p>\n
Sources reported that Eastwood and Tunis\u2019 romance continued for 14 years, during which she also had a role in his 1978 action comedy \u2018Every Which Way But Loose\u2019.<\/p>\n
A scandal arose in 1964 when Clint\u2019s full name, Clinton Eastwood Jr., was revealed on Kimber\u2019s birth certificate.<\/p>\n
According to RadarOnline, a source shared that \u201cRoxanne worshipped the ground [Clint] walked on\u201d and was not too fussed about his fame and wealth.<\/p>\n
Tunis, interested in acting and dancing from a young age, pursued her dreams in Los Angeles in her late 20s, according to the Daily Mail. She was also interested in meditation, veganism, and leading a healthy lifestyle.<\/p>\n
Kimber spoke about her mother\u2019s diverse interests, which included painting, drawing, writing, and traveling. Tunis was remembered as a devoted family member, friend, and a deeply religious individual.<\/p>\n
Tunis\u2019 acting career included appearances in films like 1963\u2019s \u2018Take Her\u2019, \u2018She\u2019s Mine\u2019, 1986\u2019s \u2018Blue City\u2019, 1973\u2019s \u2018Breezy\u2019 (directed by Eastwood), and 1968\u2019s \u2018Hang \u2018Em High\u2019, which also featured Eastwood.<\/p>\n
