R.I.P. Brilliant Actor GENE HACKMAN – Aged 95

Brilliant actor GENE HACKMAN, his wife Betsy Arakawa (65), and one
of their three dogs were found dead on February 26, at their residence
in Santa Fe, New Mexico.

Their bodies were discovered during a wellness check, after a maintenance worker
grew concerned when the couple did not answer the door. He saw the bodies through
a window and called 911. There were no traces of foul play. Hackman who was born named Eugene Allen Hackman in San Bernardino, CA was 95.

As I just read a great NME eulogy – you can read
it here – two of his best and my favourite movies
came to mind.
