Francis Ford Coppola's 1974 The Conversation was defined by Hackman's performance and a unique atmosphere that captured the loneliness and paranoia in urban life.
This is not something I would normally comment on, but I do really believe that there is some learning in this story in regards to the tragic passing of Mr. and Mrs. Hackman. It's just made me think of this broader story, and that is that caregivers need care, too.
I give my entire estate to Betsy Arakawa Hackman, as the Successor Trustee of the Gene Hackman Living Trust, under trust agreement dated September 22, 1995, as amended and restated from time to time.
Gene Hackman left an $80 million fortune and faced complex estate issues following the recent deaths of him and his wife, Betsy Arakawa.
