Gene Hackman Dies

It appears to be carbon monoxide poisoning in their New Mexico home. Their dog also died.

Such a great actor! He made films better. Loved him in Birdcage.

But also now would be a good time to check and replace the batteries on your carbon monoxide detectors.

Perhaps the best eulogy that could be offered was given by George Takei, "He could be everyone and no one, a towering presence or an everyday Joe. That’s how powerful an actor he was. He will be missed, but his work will live on forever."

Truly a treasure, while there might be some who were as good, none were better.

He had such a wide range as an actor. From drama to hero to villain to comedy.
