[marlowe]

Found dead with his wife and dog in mysterious circumstances

 

[Pevenseagull]

Magnificent screen actor.

Perhaps my favourite


Certainly one of the very best.

 

[Flounce]

Sad but sounding like suicide? Wife and dog also found dead along with Hackman

RIP

Great actor

 

[Fignon's Ponytail]

Apparently no foul play is suspected, according to the police. Very sad.

Sheriff: Gene Hackman, wife found dead in Santa Fe home; no foul play suspected

The Santa Fe County Sheriff's Office confirmed the film star and wife Betsy Arakawa had died, along with their dog.

Sad news.

 

[nevergoagain]

Very sad news. Popeye Doyle was one of my favourite screen characters. Lex Luther, not so much.

 

[The Lemming Stomper]

Mississippi Burning in my all time top 5 films...RIP

 

[The Clamp]

One of the best. Excelled during the ‘70’s era of hard bitten, character driven action films.

They didn’t come any better. 🫡

Great actor…. RIP

Do you think the dog did it and then killed itself. That’ll stump em.

 

[Motogull]

A worthy RIP thread.

Brilliant actor who starred in many of my favourite films.

Thank you Gene.

 

[East Staffs Gull]

Sounds like the name of a person who discovered DNA.

Did it win any Oscars?

 

[Official Old Man]

Him, Wife and dog.
Very very sad.

The sheriff said there was no indication of foul play.

Gene Hackman: Death of actor and wife 'suspicious enough' for investigation, police say

Authorities say there was no sign the couple had sustained any injuries, but no cause of death has been given.

Wow that’s awful, great actor, i’d say my favourite 2 films were The Runaway Jury & Crimson Tide, also liked Behind Enemy Lines RIP the Hackman family

He was excellent opposite Clint Eastwood in 'Unforgiven'.
