Thank you for the reference to Gene Hackman. Along with music, I have a very large collection of films from the 30's to the 90's, so am a bit of a film geek.....
Mr. Hackman was a very fine and versatile actor, and I personally held him in very high regard.
I never saw Gene Hackman in his films, always the character. Popeye Doyle (of course). The Polish General Sosabowski in A Bridge Too Far. Captain Ramsay in Crimson Tide (Steely Dan fans please note), and a psychoapthic President Richmond in Absolute Power.
His contribution over the second half of the 20th century should not be underestimated. RIP.

Re: Obits
Sad to hear jazz funk legend Roy Ayers has passed away at age 84.
