At 93, Hollywood veteran Gene Hackman showcased his vitality by mowing his Santa Fe estate lawn.
The two-time Oscar winner, known for iconic roles, including in “The French Connection,” is rarely seen since his 2004 comedy. Hackman, living a secluded life in New Mexico with his pianist wife, shies away from interviews.
In his recent 2021 interview, he reflected on his career and “The French Connection,” which earned him his first Best Actor Oscar. Though he dislikes watching his own movies, he keeps active with cycling, even recovering fully from a biking accident in 2012. Hackman’s privacy and occasional glimpses into his life add to his enigmatic Hollywood legacy.
