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 !
Very funny in comedy roles like Lex Luther but could do hard man roles.
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.

I think his role in Young Frankenstein might actually be my favourite of his performances.
Sad end to a wonderful actor. Condolences to the families and freinds. He played many great roles , one of my favourite movies he acted in is the Conversation.
