On February 27, Metro news site reported that famous actor Gene Hackman and his wife, classical pianist Betsy Arakawa, were found dead at their home in Santa Fe, New Mexico, USA, next to their pet dog.
The legendary actor is 95 years old and his wife is 61 years old.

Gene Hackman is one of the most talented and versatile actors in the history of American and world cinema. His career spanned over six decades and left a deep mark through a series of memorable roles.
Born on January 30, 1930, Hackman’s talent only really showed when he started studying acting at the age of 30, an age that many people consider too late to start an artistic career. However, it was his perseverance and passion that helped him overcome all barriers to become an icon.
Gene Hackman's talent lies in his ability to play roles from righteous heroes to cold, complex villains.
He won his first Oscar for his role as Jimmy "Popeye" Doyle in The French Connection (1971), a tough, determined but flawed detective.
He then continued to assert his talent with the role of Lex Luthor in Superman (1978), a villain who was both evil and charming, providing the perfect balance between humor and fear.
Another prime example is his role in Unforgiven (1992), where he portrayed a ruthless yet profound sheriff, earning him his second Oscar.
In addition to his two Oscars, Hackman has received two BAFTAs, four Golden Globes, a Screen Actors Guild Award and a Silver Bear throughout his career.
His other Oscar-nominated roles were in Bonnie and Clyde (1967), I Never Sang for My Father (1970) and Mississippi Burning (1988). Exhausted by stress and exhaustion, Hackman decided to retire from acting in 2004.
Although he has left the film industry, Hackman has proven himself to be a multi-talented person by continuing to do voice acting and writing books. Gene Hackman’s talent lies not only in his awards or classic roles, but also in the way he lives his art to the fullest, turning each character into a vivid and memorable story. He is living proof that age, background or circumstances cannot limit passion and true talent.
