Fortunately I don't think they let Harrison Ford fly airplanes anymore so at least we don't have to worry about that. Robert Deniro was great in Zero Day and he just had a kid like 2 years ago.

What, no Superman? He was in Bonnie and Clyde too. Actually, his resume is amazing.
Life is ...um.... rough when you're the dog of a Hollywood mega star.
Jokes aside, if it was carbon monoxide, they all just drifted off to sleep. Unfortunate and sad end to one of the greats.
There are a few icons getting up there. Clint Eastwood and Robert Duvall are both 94
My wife and I watched through most of the 2nd episode of zero day and we were having trouble getting into it.
I’d replace Royal Tenembaum with Little Bill Daggett from Unforgiven.
Yep. Quite the trifecta. Just like Jimmy Stewart. Henry Fonda, and Burgess Meredith sharing an apartment in the same building as a whorehouse in NYC when they were struggling young actors. Spoiler alert, the banged the pros and partied with them.
I don't know about the word reclusive. I think he just exited the Hollywood lifestyle. He still worked on his writing, but Santa Fe is the kind of place where a celebrity could exist out in the open. Sure, in his 90s he slowed down, but I don't think he was hiding. He was in an early episode of Diners, Drive Ins, and Dives, and it seemed quite clear that Hackman was a regular in the restaurant Guy visited in Santa Fe. He was slightly uncomfortable being interviewed, and looked like he didn't want to be bothered while he was just hanging out at one of his regular spots.
I had oral surgery Tuesday and post-op, I came home and watched Hoosiers. So sad.
Don't forget Lex Luther in Superman.
He played Wyatt Earp's father in the movie as well. Was great there too
Because if it's not Gene Hackman, who cares who dies of carbon monoxide poisoning. Kind of like if a small plane crashes, no one notices, but if a big plane crashes, you suddenly are told about all of the small ones that crash.
Wish he could have continued to work. His doctor advised him to give up the stress due to a bad heart. He had other things he wanted to do anyway including writing and painting.
RIP in peace to one of the greats. Dude was in a lot of movies. 95 is a nice long life.
Not if you have a pool or other heater with bad ventilation. Ordinary machines generate significant amounts of CO. Even your 2 stroke lawn mower will kill you if you run it in your basement over an extended period of time.
The best Gene Hackman ad EVER. Fyi, Gene lived in Iowa, near Storm Lake! From this to the MAGAT shithole. Well done.
"And now, the airline that's uniting the world is ready to take you back"
Sounds like United is the preferred airline for deporting all of 'em!!!!! 😉
The scene with grandkids with Me and Julio Down by Schoolyard makes me smile. Gene was so good in that film
Can I say that one of my personal favorite underrated movies is "The Replacements"?
He played a good coach and a figure you wanted to play for.....(not just in Hoosiers is what I mean)

Lots of love on here for someone in this morons family tree.
PS I made sure to check my past post about him to make sure I said he was in my family tree back then as well.

Doesn't seem innocent any more.

Gene Hackman, Wife Betsy Deaths Called 'Suspicious'
Gene Hackman's death and the death of his wife and dog is puzzling authorities, who have labeled his passing "suspicious."

You’re right. I should just start calling others stupid and other names all the time instead of ever talking about myself.
Thanks for the advice.
Hmm, haven't seen this mentioned anywhere but I wonder if it was carbon monoxide?
