Gene Hackman, who has died at the age of 95, was married to his second wife Betsy Arakawa for 24 years and the couple lived a quiet life together in New Mexico
The two-time Oscar-winning legend Gene Hackman, famed for his roles in classic movies such as The French Connection and Unforgiven, has passed away at the grand age of 95.
Gene, whose illustrious career spanned over 60 years, earning him numerous accolades including two Academy Awards, became a household name in the 1970s with hits like The Conversation, Superman, and Hoosiers. In 1990, the same year he underwent surgery for congestive heart failure, Hackman and Betsy moved into a home together in Santa Fe, New Mexico. A year later, they tied the knot. In 2008, he announced his retirement and said: "I haven't held a press conference to announce retirement, but yes, I'm not going to act any longer. I really don't want to do it any longer."
