Met Gene many times. Stand up guy, humble, modest, generous, just a wonderful and engaging human being.

Buster Keaton enters the chat. BTW Gene Hackman did a lot of his own stunts in THE FRENCH CONNECTION movies.

He wore it well.
I was going to say that Clark Johnson was my favorite in Homicide Life on the Street, but I can't find a picture of him in one so I am a liar and Gene wins.

Masterful actor and a good man. I'm glad he and his wife had so many years up in Santa Fe. RIP

Gene Hackman was SO good in the French Connection, one of my all-time favorites
