Social Media Is Heartbroken After Watching The Last Known Footage Of Award-Winning Actor Gene Hackman Before His Shocking Death
Millions of fans from around the globe are saddened by the news of Gene Hackman and his wife.
The Oscar-winning actor was found dead alongside his wife, classical pianist Betsy Arakawa, and their dog in their Santa Fe home on Wednesday.
Hackman was 95, while his wife was 63.

“R.I.P. To a legendary Actor,” a third person said.
“May he and his wife rest in eternal peace. 🙏🏽,” a fourth fan stated about Gene Hackman and his wife.
“Great actor, Popeye Doyle, Poseidon Adventure, Bridge too far and many more great films, RIP Gene and Betsy,” one final fan added.
