He had a lot of great movies.. Hoosiers and The Firm. and as a young kid seeing the Poseidon adventure in the theater with my cousins.
Odd that wife and dog passed with him.

My favorite actor...just saw a short video on him past week..he was mentioned as somebody who just quite the biz, no official announcement, just walked away. Loved him in many roles..Unforgiven, Enemy of the State and Hoosiers probably my 3 faves....he had so many great films
Awesome actor - too many films to list but Superman and Hoosiers come to the top of my mind. 95 and those accomplishments - a life well lived.
That would be my guess or something along those lines. Don’t think they would include their dog in a murder-suicide
Mississippi Burning. The Replacements. Crimson Tide. The Quick and The Dead. Unforgiven. Lex Luthor in Superman. Great actor. RIP
But for my little brother crying and my mom getting up to tend to him, my entire family wouldn’t have survived a CO leak related to an unknown crack in our year-old gas furnace. I still have a noticeable scar on my chin from falling on the pavement when the fresh air hit me outside the house. I was about ten or eleven years old and CO home monitors weren’t on the market yet. FYI, I still remember that night and although alcohol wasn’t known to me at that age, I do remember staggering and being in a fog much like being severely drunk.
So whether it was CO or not re Hackman’s death, let this be a reminder: Make sure you have at least one CO monitor plugged into an outlet.

I remember him in the show Streets of San Francisco with Michael Douglas
What an actor
RIP
I am also checking my CO detector right now and it seems to be working.

Movie was kind of cheesy, but Hackman played a great villain. So many big names in it. Hackman, Leo Dicaprio, Russell Crowe, Sharon Stone, etc
I think she was only 39 yet I've read she died of "natural" causes? She was always too young for me to be admiring but good grief she was attractive.
Doesn't appear to be carbon monoxide/gas leak. It sounds like Hackman fell/died suddenly and then the wife killed herself with pills? And the dog died because it was locked in a closet without food/water. Really weird story.

Sounded like they were both dead a “while “ . Not sure what a while is but we will find out
Now Ned, them whores are going to tell different lies than you. And when their lies ain't the same as your lies... Well, I ain't gonna hurt no woman. But I'm gonna hurt you. And not gentle like before... but bad.
