A story Mel Brooks tells about “Young Frankenstein” Hackman volunteered to do a brief appearance. Brooks had only seen Hackman do serious stuff, wasn’t sure he could be funny.
Hackman’s appearance as a blind monk was great.
We started the scene worried about Hackman’s character encountering Peter Boyle’s monster&quickly became afraid for the monster. A hoot.
Same, same about Crimson Tide. Got a Jack Russell terrier because of Hackman's character having one. Same, same about watching anything with Gene Hackman.
Thanks for this, Charlotte. Gene Hackman was a longtime favorite. As an IU alum, I loved Hoosiers, but my favorite of his movies was The Conversation. I hope you are doing OK.
Thank you for this, Charlotte.
You are such a great writer, Charlotte. Now I have to rewatch Hackman’s movies. Thanks for the diversion.

Gene Hackman was one of the GOATs. Loved his films. RIP
His role in the movie Heist was one of my favorites.
Hackman was fabulous in The Birdcage 🏳️🌈

Thank you for this, Charlotte. What a beautiful tribute to Mr. Hackman!
I met Gene Hackman in NYC when I was a kid and it remains one of my favorite moments. May he and his family rest in peace.
