The 1976 film "The Outlaw Josey Wales" was the beginning of the Locke/Eastwood working relationship. The pair went on to star in notable films such as "Dirty Harry" and "Sudden Impact." In the mid-eighties, Locke switched to directing, making her debut with the 1986 comedy, "Ratboy" which was a big hit in France. She gained respect from film critics with the 1990 thriller "Impulse." Although it impressed the critics, it failed to make an impact at the box office. In 1997, Sondra published an autobiography, "The Good, the Bad, and the Very Ugly," before quitting the film industry in 1999.

The couple eventually settled, with Clint arranging for Sondra to have a development deal at Warner Bros. Locke ultimately filed a lawsuit against Warner and Eastwood, claiming the deal was a "sham" after the studio rejected all 30 projects she had proposed and never used her as a director. In 1996, Clint was finally forced to pay Sondra an undisclosed amount of money. In 1999, she reached an out-of-court settlement with Warner Bros.
