Far from it. Clint was already a big movie star when he made Where Eagles Dare in 1969. His breakthrough came in the three classic Westerns he made for Sergio Leone starting with A Fistful of Dollars in 1964, followed by For A Few Dollars More in 1965, and The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly in 1966. His first starring role in a US film was in 1968's Hang 'Em High; that was followed by his first film with Don Siegel, Coogan's Bluff, also from 1969 and predating Where Eagles Dare.
