Gene Hackman, a Hollywood giant and two-time Oscar winner, was found dead along with his wife and dog in their New Mexico home Wednesday, though investigators believe they may have been dead for some time and the cause of death has yet to be revealed.
Hackman, 95, was a prolific actor who performed as an array of heroes and villains in films including “The French Connection,” “Hoosiers” and “Superman" from the 1960s until his retirement in the early 2000s.
