Gene Hackman sighting
- Thread starter St. Louis Hawk
- Start date
Interesting, in his memoir "Born Standing Up," Steve Martin cited the same dynamic as a reason for previously walking away from comedy for a while.
Re: Hackman roles, I'd have to include among my favorites French Connection, Superman (Otisburg?!), Hoosiers, Bat21, Unforgiven, Crimson Tide, Enemy of the State, The Birdcage, and Royal Tenenbaums.
While I'm not sure how I'd rank them, I do know this. His absolute worst role was Gen. Sosabowski in A Bridge Too Far. It really was a role too far. With bad writing to boot.

He was badass in Mississippi Burning
Great actor. He's one of those guys that it didn't matter what the role was he brought it ever single time. Not every movie he was in worked, but he always made the movie better for being in it.
I would not have recognized him but good for him.
Hackman, Clint Eastwood, Robert Duvall… they’re up there in age.
Legends!
In the 2003 pic he was 73, looks really good there. His wife was only 41 there. Good on them still being together and him making it to 94 so far!Lex Luthor spotted again!
I have never met Gene but a pretty cool fact is that he is actually up there on my family tree as a distant relative.
My mom was a Hackman.

One my favorites of our generation.
Hoosiers and Unforgiven are masterpieces.

And French Connection
No Way Out
Mississippi Burning
Crimson Tide …
Just a great actor.
Very cool. While I love him in anything and everything, without Gene and Gershwin, there is no United Airlines. From a kid on, Gene made me love O'hare and United. Sure, they both now suck, but dude was amazing...
If I get to be 94 everyone can kiss my ass- I’ll wear what I want!
Who the f cares. I Have like a rotation of maybe 7 shirts that I wear for work. Sometimes I don’t even think I go a week before I wear the same outfit.
Can’t imagine if I live to be 94 that I will give any fvcks about what I’m wearing.
I was watching Young Frankenstein on the treadmill this morning and thought the guy playing the blind man sounded familiar... Gene Hackman. I don't recall ever noticing before that Hackman was in that iconic movie.
