Eugene Allen Hackman

Gene Hackman is an American film actor who became one of the most popular and famous US artists in the 2nd half of the 20th century. Hackman's creative biography consists of more than 100 roles in motion pictures and television projects. After completing his artistic career, Gene Hackman tries his hand at writing. The author has already released several books that can be purchased around the world.

The full name of the actor is Eugene Allen Hackman. The birthplace of the boy was the city of San Bernardino, located in the United States. The future artist was born on January 30, 1930 at a difficult time for the country - the Great Depression. Jin's parents moved frequently, so his childhood was filled with changing landscapes and places of residence.

One of the important stops of the family looking for work occurred at the home of Hackman's wife's parents. The grandmother never had warm feelings for his father, so she contributed to the separation of the couple. Eugene was 13 years old when his parents split up.

Difficult times took their toll on the child's life. He wanted to help the family, so he tried to earn money. Hackman never received his school education. But at the age of 16 he entered to serve in the navy, attributing to himself a couple of years. So he began an independent existence. In the future, the images of the military were often met in the artist's cinematic career, so the experience gained in his youth was not in vain.

After 4.5 years of service, Eugene was demobilized as a result of injury. He ended up with a modest veteran's pension and had the opportunity to get an education free of charge. Hackman became a student at an art school and then entered a radio engineering college.

In 1953, Eugene got his first position in television. To do this, he had to go to Florida and then to Danville. The young man worked as an operator on the WDAN-TV channel. In parallel, he studied journalism at the University of Illinois. In 1955, he again found himself in New York. Being in a creative search, Jin arranged his personal life by getting married. But he was haunted by the desire for self-realization. Such a chance brought him an acquaintance with Dustin Hoffman.

Together with a new friend, Hackman studied at the "Pasadena Playhouse" and decided to try himself as an actor. He moved to New York and became a student of George Morrison. In parallel with acquiring new skills, Gene worked in a theater on Long Island. There the young artist made his debut.

Dustin Hoffman came to New York three years later. They decided that by working in tandem they would succeed faster. This brought them together, beginning a great friendship. But there was no talk of success for Gene Hackman until 1964.

Working in the theater, Hackman received almost no salary. Concurrently, he performed the work of an assembler, lighting designer and property manager. The first role was in the production of Udu Grosbard based on Arthur Miller's play "View from the Bridge". The director praised the artist, motivating him not to leave the stage.

In 1964, Hackman managed to get a role on Broadway in the play Any Wednesday. His partner was Sandy Dennis, who initially opposed working with the actor. The play turned out to be very successful and gathered a full audience for 28 months. During the same period, Gene Hackman got his debut film role. Before that, he starred only in an episode of the film "Mad Dog Call", and now he took part in the filming of the film "Lilith".

In 1967, Gene was invited to work on the film The Graduate, which also featured Hoffman, but the director soon turned him down. But Hackman was free to start working on the Bonnie and Clyde project. Having played the brother of the protagonist in the film by Warren Beatty, Gene became involved in the film, which received 10 Oscar nominations and 2 statuettes.

In 1970, the artist's filmography was replenished with the legendary film "The French Messenger". It was directed by William Friedkin based on a book by Robin Moore based on true events. The premiere brought Gene Hackman recognition from experts and colleagues, as well as an Oscar statuette.

The next film, which confirmed the talent of the artist, was the thriller "Conversation", the script for which Francis Ford Coppola created back in 1966. Hackman embodied on the screen a character named Kol. This image is considered one of the best in an artist's career. It has won critical and public praise but has not received any Hollywood awards.

Since the 1970s, Gene Hackman has quickly gained popularity in film circles. They began to offer him high-budget projects, and the artist often agreed to collaborate for the sake of royalties, without considering the creative aspect. He starred in the films "Scarecrow", "Legionnaires", "Boat" Happy Lady "and others.

Hackman's highest-paying film job was his role as Lex Luthor in Superman. This project turned out to be decisive for the actor, who realized that he had exhausted himself in the cinema. He became interested in the repertory theater.

In 1981, Gene Hackman starred in the film "All Night Long" in a duet with Barbra Streisand. The project failed at the box office, was nominated for the "Golden Raspberry", and only Hackman enlisted the support of critics. This was followed by the film "The Reds", which received an Oscar nomination. The 1980s were a successful period for the actor.

1991 brought shooting in the film "Unforgiven", in which Hackman played the sheriff. The artist received an Oscar, Golden Globe and a BAFTA award for this work, reminding the public of his long-standing success at the French Connected. This was followed by filming in several westerns, whose budget was extensive, and the cast was called stellar.

In 1995, Hackman starred in "Crimson Tide", then in "The Firm", "Camera" and the tape "Absolute Power". But the artist was much more pleased with the work on comedies of those years, including "Heartbreakers" and "The Tenenbaum Family". The latter has replenished the artist's piggy bank with the second Golden Globe.

The actor announced his retirement in film in 2004. Finally, he starred in the tape "Welcome to Losinaya Bay".

Gene Hackman's creative biography has always been associated with cinema and television production. Having retired, he decided to try his hand at writing and in 1999 published the first book "Perdido's Star".

On the creation of this work, the man worked in the company of underwater explorer Daniel Lenihan. Their creative tandem released 2 more editions in 2004 and 2008: "Justice for Nobody" and "Escape from Andersonville".

Hackman also works as an independent writer. He is the author of Payback at Morning Peak. In 2013, the presentation of the work "Pursuit" took place.

The first wife of the young artist was Faye Maltese. The girl worked as a bank teller. The couple met at a dance. Together with his chosen one, the actor moved to New York, and there they built a personal life, accompanied by constant tests of her husband, Hoffman's visits and creative searches.

Gina's wife gave birth to three children: a son and two daughters. At the peak of his demand in the 1980s, he took a short break to spend time with his family. Together with his wife, Gene Hackman was happy for 30 years.

But even such an impressive period of life together did not turn out to be significant when the couple decided to leave. In 1986, there was a divorce.

1991 brought the actor a new novel. He officially announced his relationship with Asian pianist Betsy Arakawa. Now Hackman lives with his wife in Santa Fe. He enjoys cycling and is a supporter of Jacksonville Jaguars Football Club. The man is 188 cm tall and his exact weight is unknown.

In 2019, the former artist, who took place as a writer, leads a calm and measured life.

His photos no longer appear on the covers of magazines, and Hackman himself does not advertise his everyday life. The artist does not maintain accounts on social networks and enjoys a life free from public discussion and flashes of paparazzi cameras.
