RIP Gene Hackman

Gene Hackman and wife were 'deceased for quite a while' before bodies were discovered as deaths called 'suspicious'
The sheriff said there were no obvious signs of foul play, but authorities aren't ruling anything out as the investigation continues.

I'm pretty sure it was a murder suicide. The dog did it and then offed himself. He told them to get Dr Marty dog food. Now they done learned.
If the dog was locked in a kettle, PETA will get to the bottom of this situation!
There were 2 other dogs on the property found alive. Been dead 2 weeks. I heard German shepherd was in a closet. Strange situation. New Mexico. Probly aliens. Probed them too hard. Happens
Sounds like wifey might have OD’ed / died first, then Gene later. Dog probably starved to death.
Tough

And almost exactly 53 years later, this happens. Coincidence?
For a long period of time...I'd say late 80s to early 2000s...it was impossible to turn on the TV without some channel showing a Gene Hackman movie.
I have it the other way. He died, she saw it, went and took pills, the dogs were on their own.
Hackman on his skill: "I just need the director to tell me 4 things...louder, softer, faster, slower."
That’s great way to put it and he certainly could elevate not so great movies and make them better.
My wife uses those same commands
I couldn't find a way to set better than you did. Great post about a great actor.
Dangit. I was sure hoping for a "Hoosiers 2: Electric Boogaloo"
He had 3 kids and obviously knew a lot of people. Seems a little strange that in this day, no one would have noticed their absence for so long. Obviously they weren't on their phones or social media much.
Not at my house she doesn’t
Yep. Solid A-Lister if there ever was one. One of my all time favorites. First saw him in the French Connection and one of his best movies was Bat-21. Stunning good movie. He has made a ton of great movies. Must be worth a fortune. Him, Clint Eastwood, James Caan, and Morgan Freeman all A-Listers who played many like roles.
To reiterate, really is amazing how good he was in literally everything.
Norman Dale in Hoosiers is just one of the great acting clinics of all time.
But looking over his career, I see The Firm, which I haven't seen in years, but clearly remember how powerful he was in that. Brilliant and evil with a sort of redemption in the end.
The guy was just a legend. And looking at his age, I guess he really didn't become known until he was in his 40's already with The French Connection.

Ok, who had rat turds and heart disease on their bingo cards?
