Gene Hackman died in February 18 2025. He was a movie icon.
He won two Academy Awards. One for Best Actor for his role as Jimmy “Popeye” Doyle in William Friedkin’s action thriller The French Connection (1971).
His second Academy Award was for Best Supporting Actor for playing a sheriff in Clint Eastwood’s Western masterpiece Unforgiven (1992).
He shined in all the movies that took place, either as protagonists or otherwise. Several of his action thrillers and adventures, such as Mississippi Burning, The Package, Enemy of the State, Narrow Margin, The Firm, Absolute Power, and many others belong to this type of movies that you can see them again and again.

His fame in recent years was about 5 famons.
It is rather hard to find an actor to play the movie roles Hackman played. As Richlin writes Hollywood doesn’t produce actors like Gene Hackman anymore.
