GENE HACKMAN
Gene Hackman has lived quite the life being both an actor and a novelist. Nominated for five Academy Awards, Hackman won Best Actor for his role of Jimmy “Popeye” Doyle in the widely acclaimed thriller “French Connection” (1971). In Clint Eastwood Seawood’s “Unforgiveness” (1992), he won the best supporting actor “Little” Bill Daggett. His other best-supporting actor nominations are the movies “Bonnie and Clyde” (1967) and “I Never Sing for My Father” (1970), and the second-best of Mississippi “Burning” Nominated for the actor.
Although he has been in retirement since 2008, we still remember the glorious fifty years he spent on the screen which was not a waste as he also got nominated for five academy awards, two of which were for his amazing performance in The French Connection and Unforgiven. But what really brought him into the spotlight was his role in 1967’s Bonnie and Clyde. Welcome to Mooseport was his last movie in 2004 before retiring. Not totally though as he still narrates documentaries from time to time, his latest being in 2017. He must have racked up quite a fortune with all his achievements. Hopefully, he made some worthwhile investments and insurance seeing as time is not by his side.
