Yeah, was gonna say The Conversation. Brilliant film.
Loved him Poisdion Adventure and of course as Lex Luther
Well he isn’t Robinson Crusoe.
His Popeye Doyle character remains one of the all time great portrayals of a cop, in both French Connections. For all that l love The Conversation just as much as a movie. He was an unfashionable sort, but hung there with a string of memorable performances such as the above mentioned, and Unforgiven.
Hackman played such a great part in Unforgiven. An absolute classic.
Loved his work in Mississippi Burning.
RIP Lex Luthor
Was good in ‘The Firm’.
Actually, he was good in everything !
I followed that run when I was last in NYC
Actually, he was good in everything !
This, one of the greats. RIP
And may his wife and dog also RIP.
Best bad guy in film. So many iconic roles.
Uncredited, and quite improvised- brilliant
And brought a sense of menace to some of his roles. Some Hollywood “tough guys” do seem a little forced, Hackman was one of the few that were genuinely unsettling and realistic. He was one of the few screen giants of my time.
1 of 3 dogs
So it looks like accidental death
Gene Hackman had incredible range as an actor. Drama, comedy, action adventure. Iconic.
Loved this guy and his acting.
Just happened I went searching for and watched this classic again only a few weeks ago. Him and Roy Scheider were a good pair … loved those Marseilles settings in a French gritty yesteryear. Won him the Oscar
Sad news indeed this. RIP Gene and wife Betsy…
