Reply With QuoteBrilliant actor - one of the very best - and a very interesting life story. He got into pictures the hard way.
His wife was only 63 (he was 95) and from the initial news stories it sounds like a suicide pact? I doubt the dog had a say.

Found dead with his wife
Superb actor , French Connection still very violent and dark , made 54 years ago
Mississippi Burning was great too , giving the rednecks a stiffing

I think he was quite a pinko liberalOriginally Posted by jon1959
The dog copped it too ?
The first film I remember seeing him (and we share a birthday by the way) was 'Freebie and The Bean' but I can't say I have ever seen a trace of it since, not even in charity shops or languishing on the shelves of Blockbusters (not that I used to frequent either that much).
He was 95, no suspicious circumstances apparently. Mississippi Burning is a great film and I thought he was vey good in Unforgiven.
RIP to both of them and the poor dog.
Are you sure? He's not mentioned in the cast list on imdb.
If you want to check you can buy it on Amazon Prime or Sky for £3.49
I must be confused. Just call the nurse

Bit of a change of tack from the police now.

As you said butt, a great actor.
The two films that stick with me are Mississippi Burning and The Royal Tenebaums.
At 95 he had a decent go at it. Although I’m a bit sus about his wife and dog going at the same time.
I don't do conspiracy stuff but have read on blue sky that his royalties were large, one of the tops.
Will always be Lex Luther for me and the nasty guy in The Firm.
Hasn't done anything since 2004 according to Wikipedia, which is interesting and an early retirement in that industry
I reckon the dogs done them both then shot himself
A gift of a story for all conspiracy theorists I would think. The possibilities are endless.
Re: films. IMO French Connection was the best.
I am going with a pissed off and jealous dog
Agree, great film but the ending sucked.
Brilliant actor.
I liked the ending
He's completely lost his mind and is firing into the darkness at possibly imaginary foes
Then the credits roll with that suffocating soundtrack
did you ever pick your feet in poughkeepsie? well did you
Nice to read stories about what a genuine nice guy he was, being a normal person in the town they settled in, shunning Hollywood despite being a proper star. Top films always make a mark on you, Mississippi Burning definitely did that….
I still have no idea what that means to this day
Yes , harrowing film but great the way Hackman portrays that bloke who was brought up by his racist father in a racist place but becomes a decent cop fighting racism
