Taken too soon.
Gene just looked so well recently Im struggling to accept this news, said someone else.
Gene and Betsy began dating in the 1980s andmarriedin 1999.
They reportedly met in a California gym where she was working while pursuing her music career.
He was previously married to Faye Maltese.
They had three children: Christopher Allen, Elizabeth Jean, and Leslie Anne Hackman.
But the business for me is very stressful.
His last role was in the 2004 comedyWelcome To Mooseport, which also starred Ray Romano and Christine Baranski.
He won his firstAcademy Awardfor Best Actor in 1972 for the action thrillerThe French Connection.
In 1993, he won Best Supporting Actor for Clint EastwoodsUnforgiven.
When Gene wasnt acting, he turned to another one of his passions: writing.
I like the loneliness of it, actually, he shared.
I dont know that I like it better than acting, its just different.
I find it relaxing and comforting.
There was an open prescription bottle and pills scattered on a countertop near the pianist.
A dead German shepherd was found in a bathroom closet near Betsy, and two healthy dogs were rescued.
Whatever happened, may they both rest in peace, a Facebook user wrote
