To this day, Clint Eastwood's most recognizable role is arguably the Man with No Name from the "Dollars" trilogy. That very same trilogy helped bolster the then-burgeoning revisionist movement that would soon make the more simplistic Westerns of the John Wayne era obsolete. It's ironic, then, that Eastwood's nameless anti-hero was originally supposed to be named after one of the Duke's most important characters: Henry, the "Ringo Kid" from "Stagecoach."
