So touching! I worked on Bonnie & Clyde when I was 16 & Gene was so kind to “the kid” on the set. Gracious man & so funny! I also sat all day talking to a young actor who was very nervous about his 1 scene in the movie…Gene Wilder. Both so lovely & sadly both now gone. #RIPGeneHackman💔💔💔💔💔 - ThreadSky

I was privileged to know Gene Hackman because he played tennis with another Gene—Gene Wilder. And that Gene told him about a little role called The Blind Hermit in our movie YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN…

Many thanks for sharing! Two Genes I surely miss.

Now, how the hell was I also not following Mel Brooks!??

Thank you for sharing that.

those were some good genes

kikiprancer.bsky.social•24 days ago

Still remember the scene of Harold the blind hermit pouring ladles of hot soup on Frankenstein's lap. Absolutely slap stick funny. Thank you for this and many other wonderful examples of how versatile and witty you were be Gene.

Brilliant performance!

Gene Hackman was in Bonnie & Clyde?! I don't remember him, it was a great movie and I'm so happy he was nice to you, the kid.

Cool story. I’ll watch B&C again and look for you!

pamrak.bsky.social•23 days ago

I didn’t realize you were in Bonnie and Clyde! What role did you play so I can watch for you next time I see it? 🎉

techychik.bsky.social•23 days ago

Both legends and what O think of when I think "Hollywood Star".
You, too, are in that category & glad you're still with us

Nice memory. Thank you for sharing.

Two of the greatest Genes of all time (I’m still working on climbing the ladder).

Such a kind and thoughtful memory.

billthornbro.bsky.social•23 days ago

I keep telling myself he was 95 and that death happens. But his poor wife ... it's all so sad.

Thanks, Morgan, for a happy memory.

pnwpirate.bsky.social•23 days ago

I remember eating somewhere and his being gracious to the tourists that had interrupted his meal.

queenky2323.bsky.social•23 days ago

that scene was one of my favorites ...it was unexpected and so funny

What did you do on “Bonnie and Clyde”?

overwatch360.bsky.social•23 days ago

They will live on in the characters they've portrayed for legions of fans!

And for those like yourself who've known them personally, they live on by the memories you share.

Thank you for sharing @morgfair.bsky.social

What a horrible loss.

kimmarie31.bsky.social•23 days ago

Morgan, do you have any memories of Michael J. Pollard from B&C? His parents lived next door to my parents when I was a kid. I remember seeing him once in a while walking around the neighborhood when he’d come visit. They were such nice people but very private.

sparkydc13.bsky.social•24 days ago

I love hearing different stories from your experiences on set with other actors. Unfortunately I learn more after someone has died. I'm sorry for your loss. I loved him in so many movies. It's nice to know he was really kind off screen. 💔😘

kenjansen.bsky.social•24 days ago

Wow. I will have to watch it again.

I never saw Gene Hackman give a bad performance. And I always had a soft spot for him because my mom ADORED him. How wonderful you got to work with him (and Gene Wilder as well)!
