comments
Gene Hackman, his wife Betsy Machiko Arakawa and one of their 3 dogs were found dead on 26. February, 2025.
Arakawa died on 11. February, 2025 from complications related to hantavirus - she was last seen in public on that day and has not opened any e-mails after that date.
Hackman died on 18. February 2025 as his pacemaker data indicates - due to advanced Alzheimers disease he might not have been aware, that Arakawa died in his home, days ago.
he was married to classical concert pianist Arakawa (* 15. December 1959) since 01. December 1991
one of my all time favourite actors
some of my facourite movies with him include 'Scarecrow' (1973), 'Crimson Tide' (1995) and 'Enemy of the State' (1998)
his parents were the pressman and printer Eugene Ezra Hackman and Lyda Hackman
he was married to Fay Maltese, a secretary (1956 - 1986, divorced)
has 3 children with Maltese: Elizabeth, Leslie and Christopher
while at the Pasadena Playhouse, Hackman and a classmate were voted 'Least likely to succeed'
the classmate was Dustin Hoffman
