I was really hoping this class act could depart this mortal coil with dignity, but the story has gotten really weird: Gene Hackman and Wife's Death Probed by Police.
Hackman was one of those actors that everyone loved. I doubt he ever gave a bad performance. He was nominated for five Oscars, winning two (Best Actor for The French Connection and Best Supporting Actor for Unforgiven). My personal favorite was his role as the eccentric, absentee father in The Royal Tenenbaums.
Hackman, who retired from acting following Welcome to Mooseport (2004) was 95. His wife, Betsy Arakawa, was 64.
Rest in peace.
