RIP Gene Hackman and wife Betsy Arakawa

Gene Hackman died aged 95: Legendary actor and wife Betsy Arakawa found dead at home with dog.. Hackman a retired actor famous for oscar winning performances the french connection, Mississippi burning and superman.RIP.

such a great actor in 70s 80s and 90s so many great films and performances

saying no foul play at the moment so it had to be something like a gas leak for both to die

When i heard both & the dog i thought they had been killed by an intruder but when i read no foul play i also thought gas leak

Such a tragedy. R.I.P

Wow that is a hammer blow. Gene was legendary and his body of work is going to stand the test of time for sure.
Gene won two Oscars: One for a leading role in the French Lieutenant's Woman and Best supporting Actor in Clint Eastwoods' Unforgiven.

That is a huge loss and I extend deepest sympathy to all who knew and worked with him and his family.

RIP Gene & Betsy.
Could carbon Monoxide be to blame?

I loved him in the 1971 film French Connectionwhere he played cop Popeye Doyle.

R.I.P. to all 3 of them.

Thnkyou for making me laugh. He was not even in French Lieutenant's Woman. Try French Connection

A sad day, but he was in his 90s... a tremendous legacy of great acting performances, whatever the film

RIP

It is a truly sad loss to such a great talent and man.

I remember him in Unforgiven (Directed by Clint Eastwood) and he was absolutely brilliant as the mean villain, similar to The Quick and the Dead, but overall countless memorable performances and a true onscreen icon, he could play both the good guy and the bad guy - absolutely brilliant actor.

RIP.

The Conversation was one my favorites, he was great in that. French Connection 2 was an underrated sequeal, his cold turkey scenes in that were memorable. RIP to a legend

A very sad end to a great man, but a long life. Always convincing in whatever role,, he tended to steal the show not only as the lead but also as a supporting actor. & looked equally comfortable in comedy. Not all deserve the tag of legend but this man most certainly did.

RIP
