This week, our games honor Gene Hackman, born on January 30, 1930, in San Bernardino, California. He had a successful career over four decades, winning two Academy Awards, and is known for roles in “The French Connection,” “Unforgiven,” “Bonnie and Clyde,” “Hoosiers,” and as Lex Luthor in the “Superman” movies.
After retiring in 2004, Gene Hackman focused on writing and lived quietly in Santa Fe, New Mexico, with his wife, Betsy Arakawa. He passed away in February 2025, leaving a lasting legacy in film.
Game clue: Who did Gene Hackman’s Lex Luthor yell at many times during “Superman.”
