Gene Hackman – Born in 1930
The French Connection, Mississippi Connection, Bonnie and Clyde, and The Royal Tenenbaums are just a few of the timeless movies that Oscar-winning actor Gene Hackman starred in throughout his career. Gene has been out of the acting business for 18 years. The star had a valid reason for quitting since it had to do with his health (his heart was giving him problems) so he decided to devote his time to writing novels instead. He has, so far, published 5 novels.
