Washington, the United States (AFP) -Gene Hackman, who wins in Oscar, the United States (USA), and his wife for a long time, Betsy Arakawa, have been found dead in their home in New Mexico, reported the media on Thursday.

The sheriff in Santa Fe County, Adan Mendoza, said that the couple was found dead on Wednesday after -adding that there is no immediate indication of the bad game, according to Santa New Mexican and Sky News.

Mendoza did not offer a cause of death.

Media reports said the couple, who has been married since 1991, died with their dog.

Hackman, who turned 95 at the end of last month, was once voted to do in showbiz, but continued to win two Oscar awards.

Arakawa was a 63 -year -old classic pianist.

Hollywood director Francis Ford Coppola, Hackman’s loss on Thursday.

“The loss of a great artist, always caused for both mourning and holidays: Gene Hackman, a great actor, inspiratory and magnificent in his work and complexity,” Coppola wrote in an Instagram post.

“I mourn his loss and celebrate his existence and contribution.”

Hackman is perhaps best known for his portrait about the hard and vulgar policeman in New York, Jimmy “Popeye”, in the 1971 crime thriller French connection – for which he won an Oscar for best actor.

He won another golden statuette two decades later for the best support actor for his portrayal of the brutal sheriff in the small city of “Little Bill” Daggett in Western 1992 Unforgiving.

Throughout his acting career, Hackman has attracted his talents and versatility, taking a series of heavy roles and offering smart and intelligent shows.

“It really costs me very emotionally to follow myself on the screen,” said the actor.

“I think of myself and I feel that I am quite young, and then I look at this old man with the chickens and the tired eyes and the line in retreat and all this.”

Born in Illinois during the great depression, Hackman came from a broken family.

His father left at the age of 13, fluttering enigmatically as he left for a day, and his mother later died in a fire.

Later, Hackman used his personal agitation as a fuel to highlight his characters.

He was an unlikely star, coming to act relatively late in life, after entering a series of jobs and drew attention only in 30 years.

According to the Hollywood legend, after enrolling at Pasadena Playhouse in California, in the late 1950s, he and a student colleague, one Dustin Hoffman, were voted “the least likely to succeed.”

After graduation, Hackman earned work outside the Broadway and started turning his head.

He won his first Oscar nomination for best support actor Bonnie and Clyde.

This 1967 landmark, in which Hackman played Clyde’s brother, Buck Barrow, has firmly on the Stardom.

Hackman has recorded dozens of film credits in his career, working well in the 60s and 70s, although he remained outside the light, instead he wrote and painted.

In the 21st century, played in Heist and Royal Tenenbaums In 2001, the latter winning the third competitive Golden Globe, before announcing his retirement in 2008.
