Wow, this is really sad. I never watched either one, but dead at 39, and they suspect it's natural causes, that's very sad. They said she recently had a liver transplant, and may have been experiencing complications. Rest in peace young lady.

Gene Hackman has died.

I read the news about it. RIP to Gene, Betsy, and their dog.

I had a friend who was an actor and worked with Gene Hackman in Superman 4. He kept saying that he was the greatest guy ever. Very genuine and real. A Marine.

Gene Hackman has died.

Rest in Peace Gene Hackman.

Geez. All three dead at the same time? No indication of foul play?That's very hard to believe. If I were to guess, carbon monoxide poisoning was probably the cause.

Let's go out on a happy note. The Young Frankenstein scene with Peter Boyle ...

 

[Steve-FreeOnes]

One of the greatest. Just had to put on The French Connection. Brilliant actor, always good no matter what the role and film.

 

[Mr. Daystar]

Not exactly the headline I was expecting to wake up too. This is terrible news, I really liked his work, and I hope he rests in peace, along with his wife and pet. The article I read on Yahoo said no foul play is suspected, so all I can think of is carbon monoxide, or a gas leak.

EDIT:

It looks like my thoughts have been ruled out. This link has some updated info I believe, and gives a few more details of what the initial scene looked like.

 

[Little Red Wagon Repairman]

I've seen a lot of Gene Hackman films and have a Gene Hackman section of my movie collection. I think my favorite performance is Unforgiven as Sheriff "Little Bill". I liked the shades of grey Hackman put into that role. Very believable as a Sheriff from Old West times. Little Bill was a bad hombre who would surely get my vote for Sheriff.

@Little Red Wagon Repairman -- you need to take this to its conclusion. In my opinion, this is the best scene in the film ...

Former LAPD Detective Sergeant and author Joseph Wambaugh dies at 88. I was a big fan especially of The New Centurions and also The Onion Field.

David Johansen A.K.A Buster Poindexter has passed on after a lengthy battle with cancer. May he rest in peace.

 

[Mr. Daystar]

It looks like we lost another one....they seem to be going so fast.

Joey Molland, guitarist for Badfinger has passed on at the age of 77. The article doesn't list a cause of death, but it does say he's had some health issues. I wasn't a huge fan, but they were a good band, and of course it seems like they wrote "Baby Blue", just for "Breaking Bad". Rest in peace Joey, thanks for the music.

He was the one who caused Tom Evans to kill himself.

They had a long standing argument about royalties on the song "Without You" (the song made famous by Harry Nilsson)

Their version ...

Left to right ... (back) Molland and Ham. (front) Evans and Gibbins.
