Gene Hackman and his wife Betsy Arakawa were found dead in their home in Santa Fe last night. The circumstances are still a mystery, but no foul play is currently suspected. Hackman was 95 and his wife, a classical pianist, was 63. Their dog was also found dead.
I haven't seen all of his films, but I really liked him in the ones I have seen, including, but not limited to, The French Connection, The Unforgiven, March or Die and Scarecrow. His cameo in Young Frankenstein was hilarious.
One of the last of the greats. RIP.
Here's the famous car chase from The French Connection.
Update Strange details keep trickling out about these deaths: "Hackman and Wife Found ‘Mummified’ in Santa Fe Compound – Pills Found Scattered in Bathroom".
