Acting legend Gene Hackman and his wife, former classical pianist Betsy Arakawa, were found dead Wednesday, Feb. 26, at their home in New Mexico.
Santa Fe County police discovered the bodies of the two-time Oscar winner, 95, and his 63-year-old wife—his partner of 34 years—along with their dog.


No foul play is suspected, and no cause of death has been announced.

Santa Fe County Sheriff Adan Mendoza confirmed the news on Thursday, Feb. 27.
Hackman was one of the most accomplished actors of all time, noted for his star performances in “The French Connection,” “Bonnie and Clyde,” and “The Royal Tenenbaums.”


The actor’s prolific career includes two Oscars, three Golden Globes, and the Cecil B. DeMille Award, which he received in 2003.
