I don't know how many times I watched Young Frankenstein before I realized he was in it, and then when I did, I almost rolled on the floor laughing and had to go get my wife and made her watch the scene.

Man that's a real shame, he had many great movies that I loved.

Uncommon Valor, Bat 21, the French connection, Heist, absolute power, get Shorty, the quick and the dead, he was equally great at playing the bad guy or the hero.






Foul play is not suspected,  but he his wife and dog were found ?
The only cause I can imagine would be a gas leak or something.

I met him while working on Get Shorty.  A very talented and versatile actor.

Strange...
He was found dead along with his wife and dog but foul play is not suspected.
Maybe something airborne or poisoning?

[Hoosier Daddy]

They called in the Gas Company but no leaks have been found.
 Sad news indeed.

Gene Hackman and Danny Glover,  a great movie that I haven't seen in awhile.

Oh, Bat 21  was the first to come to my mind.

The scene inside Hackman's character's office in Get Shorty was shot inside my actual office on Hollywood Blvd (I did locations for the movie).  Danny Devito was the producer and he really liked my office which was in an old office building overlooking the Fredric's of Hollywood storefront on Hollywood Blvd.  I didn't see much of Hackman on the shoot but I did have breakfast with Devito several times.

Randy Quade suspects the deaths were murders over royalty money. Said on twitter Gene has one of the biggest royalty streams in hollyweird.

He has said some crazy stuff before,  but at this point it's anybody's guess and it would not surprise me if there turns out to have been something nefarious.

More details are emerging. They said it will take 4 to 6 weeks for tox results.

Wife thinks that Hackman heart let go and his wife was trying to get meds to help him and had a massive heart attack herself. Who knows??? 🤔

And the dog too?

[Madd Hatter]

The dog was locked up from Feb 17. It either died of thirst or starved.

There's talk of being murdered because he told people he was fixing to spill the beans about high ranking people he saw with Epstein being that his ranch was next door hearing and seeing things one shouldn't plus Epstein had been trying to get him to join his pedo/kill club which he refused.

Apparently the last recorded activity on Gene's Pacemaker happened on the 17th for whatever that's worth .
I'm not really familiar with how these things work.
