Gene Hackman was the actor’s actor, that rare creature who lived uncomfortably in the spotlight but who somehow found his way from the back suburbs of Los Angeles to the apex of its entertainment industry.
What he left then, and what he leaves behind now, is a complex tapestry of human emotions, woven through illuminating performances which stunned us, made us cry, and, far more often than Hackman’s serious demeanour might suggest, left us weeping with laughter. Unlike most actors of his generation, Hackman didn’t chase million-dollar roles. His most memorable roles were nuanced. And sometimes small. He picked them for great writing. Or for the fine print.
