R.I.P. Gene Hackman

[fknhippie]

RIP...Great and versatile, as good in comedy as he was in drama.

Loved him in Birdcage.

Hopefully they all just fell asleep.

R.I.P. I didnt realize he was 95

95 wow, like others said....i had no idea. RIP, so many good rolls.

"I was going to make espresso" one of the great lines in film

Didn't he do that movie for free?
I read he really really wanted to be a part of it

 

[Groo]

Seems more than a little odd
RIP the all of them

So the story goes. He wanted to do comedy and asked Mel Brooks for a role for free. And he ad libbed the "espresso" line

Why would someone send a hitman after a 95 year old man in poor health?

I suspect the dog was probably up to no good.

I heard there were a lot of pills on the floor of both the rooms his wife and dog died and the one he died.sad stuff. Great actor

I suspect the dog was probably up to no good.

Report said 2 dogs lived while one dog, Hackman and his wife died. Pretty clear what happened here

 

[FaCe-LeE-uS]

RIP to a legend & his wife.

If the pills on the floor are true, then it seems like they wanted to ride off into the sunset together. Dog seems like an accident though. Maybe ingested some of those pills that were on the floor.

Sounds like a canine lovers triangle gone bad. Gene and his wife were just collateral damage.

Cats at it again.

I don't believe them ingesting pills to end thrir lives. Pills were spilled on purpose.

Foul play "not suspected, but not ruled out."
