Gene Hackman RIP

Gene Hackman loved the craft of acting but stated he disliked the fame and the business side of film making.
Betsy Arakawa was only 63 and after the autopsys we will find out how Gene his partner and their Dog died.
He lied about his age and spent 4 years in the military from 16.
95 years lived, assuming he had been in reasonable health sounds decent but the trio of deaths are sad.
RIP to a great actor and Jimmy 'popeye' Doyle in the French Connection was a great film and the car chase was 6 minutes long and loud and 'elf and safety' was slack back in 1970 when it was filmed in Brooklyn with Hackman and many stuntmen in one take with real traffic !

He did Unforgiven and The French Connection but also Superman and Young Frankenstein and was excellent at both types of role. Genuinely a brilliant actor.Henry Irving said:RIP
Very good, understated actor.
Very funny in comedy roles like Lex Luther but could do hard man roles.2 -

I think his role in Young Frankenstein might actually be my favourite of his performances.thenewbie said:

What…..his dog was 95?Bedsaddick said:
That would make sense because their pet was found dead as well. 95 is a great innings thoughClem_Snide said:
Suspected Carbon Monoxide poisoning.MrLargo said:"No foul play involved" apparently. His wife is only 63. Seems unlikely that they all died of natural causes the same night.
Anyway, RIP. Great actor.
Regardless RIP.2 -
