Agree with most of that. Can remember lots of things he was brilliant in, and almost nothing that he wasn't. A real actor who became a star, actually changed from role to role. I preferred Hackman to the more high profile 'actor' stars, like brando and De Niro. Very sad, but I'm not sure about missing him, he stopped working twenty years ago.
Yes he did. I seem to recall he bigged himself up on music, mentioned that he did some DJing, landed music questions and I'm pretty sure got them all wrong.
Surely if it was Talkback, he'd have also started an argument with himself and refused to back down in the face of overwhelming evidence to the contrary?
Apparently the Hackmans had been dead some time, their bodies were found in different rooms, the wife had a ton of pills around her, and police are now treating their deaths as suspicious.
I once walked out of the bar I worked at, up towards Hoboken’s Main Street where the arts and music festival was in full flow and happened to time it perfectly with the New York Dolls launching into their signature song. Their first two albums are bloody great, if you’re into that sort of thing.
