Gene Hackman, the two-time Oscar-winning actor who also published five novels, has died at 95, the Associated Press reports.

Hackman, along with his wife, classical pianist Betsy Arakawa, and their dog, were found dead at their home in New Mexico. Local law enforcement say that they do not suspect foul play.

Hackman, a California native, served in the U.S. Marine Corps for four and a half years; he turned to acting after being discharged in 1951. He broke through as an actor with his Academy Award–nominated role in the 1967 film Bonnie and Clyde, and he earned a second Oscar nomination three years later for I Never Sang for My Father.

He won an Academy Award for his performance in the 1971 film The French Connection and went on to become one of Hollywood’s most recognizable stars with roles in The Conversation, Superman, Hoosiers, and Mississippi Burning, among others. He won a second Oscar in 1993 for Unforgiven.

In 1999, he made his literary debut with the sea adventure novel Wake of the Perdido Star, which he co-wrote with Daniel Lenihan; a critic for Kirkus called the book a “standard swashbuckler that’s slow at the start but then delivers satisfying action and rousing derring-do, even if the characterizations are as thin as Errol Flynn’s tights.” The pair collaborated on two more novels, Justice for None and Escape from Andersonville, and Hackman went on to publish two solo novels, Payback at Morning Peak and Pursuit.

Hackman’s admirers paid tribute to him on social media. On the platform X, fellow actor and author George Takei wrote, “We have lost one of the true giants of the screen. Gene Hackman could play anyone, and you could feel a whole life behind it. He could be everyone and no one, a towering presence or an everyday Joe. That’s how powerful an actor he was. He will be missed, but his work will live on forever.”

And actor Morgan Freeman posted, “One of the personal highlights of my career was bringing the French Film Gardé a Vue (Under Suspicion) to life with the incredibly gifted Gene Hackman. And of course...Unforgiven. Rest in peace, my friend.”
