Francesca Eastwood Named Miss Golden Globe 2013

Clint Eastwood and Frances Fisher's daughter is the latest in a long line of celebrities' children to bear the honor.

The Hollywood Foreign Press Association on Thursday announced Francesca Eastwood is Miss Golden Globe 2013. A party at Cecconi's restaurant in West Hollywood provided the setting for the announcement.

The new Miss Golden Globe is the daughter of Clint Eastwood and actress Frances Fisher, according to the Golden Globes website. Honorees are usually the child of a celebrity, many of whom have gone on to stardom of their own.

"I am honored to have been chosen by the Hollywood Foreign Press to be Miss Golden Globe of 2013," Eastwood said in a statement. "I have watched the Golden Globes ceremonies since I was a little girl, and it means so much to me to be a part of one of Hollywood’s most illustrious events."
