I had no idea he was 95. Where does the time go?
Odd scenario. |  | |  |

95! Pretty tragic that his wife of 63 is dead too, what’s that about?
Amazing he played Harry Caul, Harry Mosby and Popeye Doyle (in FC2) in the course of a year or two, 1974-75. |  | | |

Top actor, so many films (very few poor ones) held together by someone who could make a movie watchable.

My favourite actor.
The Conversation - slow, but his acting is stellar. |  | | |

Mine too. Remember seeing The French Connection as a kid and from that moment I was a fan.

Gene Hackman and Paul Newman.
My go to actors for decades, making average films good and good films great. |  |

'The conversation' was a fantastic film .
Hackman's interaction with John Cazale was beauty to behold. Cazale's only other films were 'The Godfather' 1&2, 'Dog day afternoon' and 'The deer Hunter' , not too shabby!
Gene was equally as good, if not better in 'The Scarecrow' with Al Pacino. try to see it if you can.
For me the 1970's was the golden age of dojo exploding cinematography, expermentation of scripts and the actors true craft .
RIP Gene, you were at the axis of it. |  |

Bloody hell, sounds very suspicious! You're always left wondering how awful those last few minutes might have been. However, I wonder if its a dodgy heater/monoxide poisoning.
Such a great actor. |  |

Yeah was glad, for want of a better word, to read they don’t suspect foul play. Sounds like carbon monoxide or similar. |  | | |

The greatest Lex Luthor
Sounds like it could be carbon monoxide poisoning. Harsh to get to 95 in reasonable health and then that happens. |  | | |

Should have got an Oscar for Lex Luther in Superman .
They don’t give Oscar’s for being funny sadly. Which is the greatest gift.
Don’t think he ever made dud movie. RIP. | | | |

I never understood that famous line. I think that was the idea.
Wonderful role, wonderful actor in all his roles.
RIP Popeye. | | | |

the scarecrow is a great film....
i first got to see it on tele in the early 90's, videotron.
just flicking through and lucky enough to catch the very beginning of the film where hackman and pacino are deep in conversation along some railway tracks i think, and completely lured me in.
hackman is quite violent in the film, where as pacino plays a complete opposite role to what we are used to him being in.
well worth a watch... | |

Unforgiven.
Greatest Western ever, and he gave gave a powerhouse performance. Deserved Oscar win.
Probably my favourite actor when I was a kid in the 80s, who didn't love Superman I and II and The Posiedon Adventure?! | | | |
