Sad to see him look like that. RIP to all of them.

Mississippi Burning and the original Lex Luthor.

Some solid acting and a great superman villain.

RIP Gene Hackman.

Gene Hackman..one of the greats.

Absolute legend, so many great roles.

Mississipi burning, royal tenebaums and the French connection to name just a few.

Shocking news that!! One of the absolute greatest actors ever!

Very strange that the wife has died too. Had she been 95 as well you could see a suicide thing for both. But blimey.. Shocking news!!

It was only a matter of time but the circumstances are shocking. Kind of takes away from what should just be a tribute to one of the great Hollywood actors.

Hopefully there was no foul play involved.

Absolute A-lister Gene Hackman. Growing up, he’s probably up there with a group of actors who you just knew that what ever film he was in, it would be worth a watch.

Personal favourites, Enemy of the State and Crimson Tide.

RIP Popeye. Amazing actor. The French Connection is one of the all time great films.

Gene Hackman, my favourite actor next to De Niro. He seemed to have an effortless aura about him. French Connection and Mississippi Burning are 2 of my favourite films. RIP to him and his wife (and their dog).
