R.I.P Gene Hackman, one of the all time greats, whilst often typecast, he was an actor of real versatility and vulnerability, attaining the stature to end his career on his own terms, enjoying a decade of well earned retirement

I still miss Gene Hackman. Don’t lecture me on the fact I never met the guy personally- who cares? I miss seeing this guy do his thing in movies. Hackman was one of those actors who just improved life even by .5%. That’s all it takes to make an impact on someone. Actors like Hackman don’t just fall out of the sky. He was once in a generation. So is Denzel Washington.

The Landlady in Kung Fu Hustle (2004) is an absolute force of nature. One cigarette, one slipper, and she owns every fight scene like a living cartoon superweapon. Comedy or not, she’s one of the most badass women ever put on screen.

Ralph Fiennes in Schindler’s List (1993) Before this film, he was seen as an “average” actor. But as Amon Göth, Fiennes became a chilling monster on screen. Calmly sniping prisoners from his balcony like target practice — no theatrics, no exaggeration, just cold precision — he left audiences shaken. That performance transformed him from relative obscurity into one of cinema’s most respected talents, a perfect example of how an “average” actor can deliver something extraordinary.

RIP Alain Delon (1935-2024) He was one of the coolest & most handsome actors ever, but sometimes I feel that his acting ability is underappreciated. His presence on screen alone is enough to make people watch a film. You all know how much I adore him. He will be sorely missed

Gene Hackman almost rejected starring in Clint Eastwood's "Unforgiven" (1992). His role in "Mississippi Burning" (1988) played a huge part in his initial reluctance to appear in "Unforgiven". Hackman acquired the 50% rights for Thomas Harris's novel- "The Silence of the Lambs", with Orion Pictures owning the other half despite the disappointment of Michael Mann's "Manhunter" (1986). Hackman was intrigued by the book & wanted to direct the picture. He was also mulling over the possibility of playing Hannibal Lecter. He said, "It's one of the most cinematic books I've ever read. As I read it, the movie was clicking in my mind." When Screenwriter Ted Tally was a third of the way through the script, he got the news that Hackman was off the project. Empire Magazine suggested this was in part due to "Mississippi Burning", (1988) which was considered a dark and v!o|ent film. Doing two grisly thrillers in a row may have been a risk to the upward trajectory Hackman's career was on, especially since his involvement wasn't just as a performer. Years later, a much simpler explanation was revealed to Deadline. "Daddy, you're not making this movie" Hackman's daughter reportedly told him after reading the book herself. Hackman relayed the story to his contact at Orion and was offered to be bought out of the rest of his half and thus the studio would own it outright. One version for the rejection stated that when Hackman was at the 1989 Oscars where he was nominated for Best Actor for his role in “Mississippi Burning”. Gene Hackman decided that he would no longer make v!o|ent films after seeing a brief, clip of his performance in this film (taken out of context, in his eyes). When Hackman was offered the part as the Sheriff in "Unforgiven" (1992), he was initially reluctant to accept it for the same reason. Screenwriter David Webb Peoples said, "Gene’s daughters didn’t like all the v!0lent movies he was doing. He was at a stage in his career where his family was more important than his work." However, Clint Eastwood explained to Hackman that while 'Unforgiven' was definitely a v!o|ent film, it didn’t glorify or glamourize it. Instead, it was used as the manifestation of humanity’s worst impulses and instincts. He then accepted the role. Hackman later said, "“I swore I would never be involved in a picture with this much v!o|ent in it, but the more I read it, the more I came to understand the purpose of the film, the more fascinated I became.” Gene Hackman gave one of his finest performances & went on to win an Oscar for it.
