She has always had strong ties to Carmel. Born and raised here, Eastwood spent the entirety of her childhood as well as parts of her adult life in Carmel. Eastwood feels as though growing up in Carmel had a positive effect on her love for animals, saying, “I’ve always loved animals, ever since I grew up in Pebble Beach, California. I’ve just felt a kinship with nature and animals.”
