...and somehow even though a Hollywood actor, I do not recall ever hearing him spouting off politics like a leftist loony tune. Those were two good reasons to like him. Gene Hackman, Betsy Arakawa (his second wife of many years) and one of their pooches - were found dead and who all may have died at the same time. An investigation is ongoing (more at the source: https://www.foxnews.com/entertainment/oscar-winning-actor-gene-hackman-wife-found-dead-santa-fe-home.
I saw several of his films, also have not seen quite a few. In the ones I saw him in, he was excellent, those were: The French Connection, French Connection II, The Poseidon Adventure, Unforgiven, The Package, The Birdcage, Crimson Tide, Bat21, A Bridge Too Far, Zandy's Bride, The Quick And The Dead, The Hunting Party, The Conversation, Loose Cannons, Absolute Power, Bite The Bullet, Mississippi Burning, The Heist, and Young Frankenstein (basically a long cameo but his part was great because of him). I just saw his credits and am amazed I have not seen more of his work (I tend to watch older movies but considering how much I liked the acting of Gene Hackman, I have some a lot of catching up to do).
Rest In Peace for him, his wife and the one of their pooches that also passed on.
All the best,
Glenn B
