In 1998 Dina Eastwood was host of a television show that was put together by the California Teachers Association. The show, A Quest for Excellence, featured students, teachers, and administrators and their daily challenges, though several celebrity interviews were attained on the show through Mr. Eastwood's Hollywood connections.
Eastwood was featured in the San Francisco State University's 2009 "Alumni Hot Shots" list. She is a former co-host of the television show Candid Camera.
She discovered Overtone, a South African a cappella band, during the filming of Clint's film Invictus. She was so impressed that she arranged a special performance for them during a day off from filming. The band then so impressed the cast and crew of Malpaso Productions that the director later had them record several songs, many of which were used in the soundtrack.
Eastwood made brief appearances as a reporter in two of her husband's films, True Crime (1999) and Blood Work (2002).
Eastwood joined The California Museum for History, Women and the Arts Board of Trustees in 2007 and is a past chair.

Famous quotes containing the word career:
“Like the old soldier of the ballad, I now close my military career and just fade away, an old soldier who tried to do his duty as God gave him the light to see that duty. Goodbye.”
—Douglas MacArthur (1880–1964)
“What exacerbates the strain in the working class is the absence of money to pay for services they need, economic insecurity, poor daycare, and lack of dignity and boredom in each partner’s job. What exacerbates it in upper-middle class is the instability of paid help and the enormous demands of the career system in which both partners become willing believers. But the tug between traditional and egalitarian models of marriage runs from top to bottom of the class ladder.”
—Arlie Hochschild (20th century)
