Gene Hackman was found dead at his home last night with his wife and dog. Makes me wonder if it was a gas leak or something like that. Regardless a true acting legend has been lost.
I don’t fawn over “celebrities” but Hackman was not famous for being a celebrity but for his acting prowess. As a moviephile, I can appreciate acting as an art and he is someone who was a master of his craft.
RIP Gene Hackman. Time to go and rewatch the Superman movies and French Connection .
Hackman was impressive at that age not only did he make it close to the mid 90’s last year he was seen driving around going to restaurants.
That’s a full life being mobile and not bad ridden in the mid 90’s William Shatner close to the same age is getting ready to make a cameo on and upcoming Star Trek flick.
He was the best lex luther. The best part i remember as a kid was his monolog to clark kent. Using supersonic transmission only superman and dogs could hear taunting him to his lair. It really sets the following fight scene up nicely.
I also loved hoosiers. Pretty much the same reason. He could deliver lines that really make the scenes powerful.
