Intro:

Feroz Khan, a Bollywood actor once called "the Clint Eastwood of the East" because of his maverick roles and manly swagger, died on Monday at his ranch in Bangalore. He was 69.

Mr. Khan's death followed a long fight against cancer . . .

In a 2003 profile, the Indian news and information Web site rediff.com said of him: "Khan did not walk, he swaggered."

It went on: "A cigarette dangled from his lips, a femme fatale hung on his arm and a horse waited for his bidding. He spoke with an American twang. The Clint Eastwood of the East seems to have come via Texas, not Bangalore."
