RIP Gene Hackman

[Tradewind]

Hard to believe Unforgiven was 33 years ago...Little Bill Daggett was a brilliant protagonist bad guy portrayal.

The quick and the dead was good

Hackman played a great antagonist, so sad

He was driving an immaculate shiny 4 door sedan Mercedes that was at least 40 years old.

My wife used to nanny for Fess Parker's lawyer. When Mr. Parker died his family gifted our friend his immaculate 1970s Mercedes sedan, that must be a thing with those older actors. It gets driven it to work once or twice a month, like Fess wanted.

Loved watching the replacement when I was a kid.

Carbon monoxide?

Bodies were found in different parts of the house and its being reported that the wife was dead longer than Gene (advanced decomp). Police are still saying it doesn't appear to be foul play. It'll be interesting to learn how/if carbon monoxide plays in.

He was one of my favorites growing up as a kid loved his movies, went in the old DVD collection and pulled out Superman, the quick the dead , bat 21 , the replacements and watch a couple movies and reminisce

Not to mention, Hoosiers was just legendary, uncommon valor too many great movies to mention

Found dead along with wife & dog @ home in Santa Fe. No signs of fowl play.

That's gotta stink!

I have to say this is pretty crazy. I read is was not carbon monoxide and they don't know who was dead longer. They did use his pace maker data and other items were taken for the investigation. It's almost like he killed his wife and then himself so the kids get it all...who knows...I'm sure we will never know the real story, but data will tell part of the story.

Very sad to hear about his passing. Just very strange the circumstances under which he, his wife and one of 3 dogs passed.
