Beloved Oscar-winning actor Gene Hackman, his wife Betsy Arakawa, and their dog were tragically found dead in their New Mexico home, authorities confirmed on Thursday. The Santa Fe County Sheriff’s Office stated that foul play was not suspected, but did not disclose the cause of death.
Gene Hackman, known for his iconic roles in films such as “The French Connection” and “Unforgiven,” was a five-time Oscar nominee and widely regarded as one of the finest actors of his generation. Hackman, who was 95, passed away just days before the Academy Awards ceremony, where he had previously won two Oscars.
Hackman and Arakawa, a classically trained pianist, met in the mid-1980s and made Santa Fe their home by the end of the decade. The couple lived in a Southwestern-style ranch overlooking the Rocky Mountains. Hackman, who was also a talented writer, co-wrote three novels during his career.
Hackman’s death marks the end of a prolific career that spanned decades and left a lasting impact on the film industry. He will be remembered for his tremendous contributions to the world of cinema.
