Description

On today’s episode of the Gimme Three Podcast, we honor the legendary Gene Hackman, who recently passed away. Whether it was through comedy, drama, or action, Hackman brought a stern energy and a grounded approach to each and every one of his pictures. 

Today we discuss three of Hackman’s most memorable performances.

• We start with Gene Hackman’s Academy Award-winning performance in the New Hollywood staple, The French Connection. 
• Second, Hackman stars as Coach Dale in the sports classic, Hoosiers. 
• Finally, in our audience pick, one of the legend’s final performances is one to remember in Wes Anderson’s The Royal Tenenbaums. 

Let us know what your favorite Gene Hackman performance is.
