Gene Hackman, the two-time Oscar-winning actor, has died at 95. Renowned for his legendary roles in *Bonnie and Clyde*, *Superman*, and *The French Connection*, Hackman retired from acting in 2004 and spent his later years quietly in New Mexico with his wife, Betsy Arakawa, a retired pianist. Though the couple had no children together, Hackman had three children from his previous marriage to Faye Maltese.
His daughter, Elizabeth, hinted that his death might be connected to toxic fumes, potentially carbon monoxide poisoning. Authorities confirmed the investigation is ongoing but noted foul play is not suspected. Hackman, who starred in more than 80 films, had fully embraced retirement, dedicating his time to writing novels and enjoying a peaceful, private life. His passing leaves a profound void for fans and loved ones alike. Rest in peace.
