Sondra Locke: Actor whose career was overshadowed by her association with Clint Eastwood

• Sondra Locke’s journey through the triumphs and tragedies of fame is a plot worthy of its own Hollywood film. Inspired by the “magic window” of her local cinema, she went on to clinch her first role in 1968’s The Heart is a Lonely Hunter – for which she gained an Oscar nomination. Bayne married Alfred Locke, a carpenter, four years later.
