Nearly all of Francesca Eastwood's siblings have followed in their father's footsteps and pursued careers in the film industry. Despite having differing mothers, she shares a close bond with her brothers and sisters– including a sister who is more than twice her age.

Born on August 7, 1993, Francesca is the only daughter of Clint Eastwood and Frances Fisher. Thus, none of her father's other children are her full siblings. However, she does not see them as such, as she calls them "amazing," and the close-knit family often spends holidays and vacations together.

Maggie Johnson is the mother of Francesca's half-siblings, Kyle and Alison. Jacelyn Reeves is the mother of Francesca's other half-brother and sister, Scott and Kathryn. Dina Ruiz is Francesca's half-sister Morgan's mother, and the mother of her other sister, Laurie Murray, is unknown.

Laurie Murray Hired Specialists to Find Her Parents

Laurie, the eldest of Francesca's half-siblings, discovered Clint was her father when she was in her thirties. Clint and her mother had an affair in Seatle during his first marriage to Maggie, and according to reports, he had no idea Laurie's mother was pregnant.

When they weren't bonding over their shared love of golf, Laurie and Clint spent holidays such as Thanksgiving together.

After she gave birth, Laurie's mother put her up for adoption, and a couple adopted her in Seatle. Around thirty years later, Laurie went searching for her biological parents. On the hunt, she hired a specialist to help her track down her parents.

In the process, she found paperwork where her biological mother listed Clint as Laurie's biological father. A family friend, who wished to remain anonymous, said:

"I don't think she had the best upbringing– certainly not privileged. When she found her biological parents, she reached out to her mother, but she didn't want to be contacted."

Laurie was surprised by her mother's disinterest in being contacted but received a warmer reception from her father. It is unclear how she contacted Clint, but they now have a great relationship.

She accompanied her father to multiple public appearances and shared a close relationship with Clint's mother, her biological grandmother. When they weren't bonding over their shared love of golf, Laurie and Clint spent holidays such as Thanksgiving together.

Alison and Kyle Eastwood Each Succeeded in Their Careers

During his marriage to Maggie, Clint welcomed his son Kyle on May 19, 1968, in Santa Monica, California. Growing up to the sound of '70s Rock and roll and Jazz, Kyle's passion for music quickly led to his career as a recording artist and award-nominated film composer. He said:

"The best part of my career has been being able to do what I love to do, make my life what I love, and having the opportunity to play with my incredible band... I’m grateful to both of my parents for their interesting tastes in music that exposed me to so many other genres."

His sister was born in 1972 and was the second of many examples that their legendary father's career in Hollywood rubbed off on his children. However, after landing roles in films such as "Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil" and "Absolute Power," Alison retired from acting.

Instead, she focused her time on rescuing at-risk animals from euthanization and started a foundation to combat pet overpopulation and encourage animal adoption.

Kimber Eastwood Has Found Her Own Way in the Film Industry

Born in 1964, Kimber kickstarted her career as a film producer by becoming a makeup artist. She began doing makeup in 2005, and by 2008, she was producing films. Her IMDb bio, in part, reads:

"Having the Eastwood name comes with opportunities and challenges, but Kimber realized that having a famous father will open doors but not necessarily guarantee success."
