HACKMAN, Gene

HACKMAN, Gene
(1930– )
   Born in California, Gene Hackman has made his reputation in Westerns playing some of the nastiest villains imaginable. After beginning his career in television, he got his break in Hollywood playing Clyde’s brother in Bonnie and Clyde (1967), for which he was nominated for an Academy Award. The 1990s was the decade for all of Hackman’s Western roles. He won his second Academy Award for his role as Little Bill Daggett in Clint Eastwood’s Unforgiven (1992). Daggett is a petty, vicious, corrupt sheriff who rules his town as a tyrant. In Geronimo: An American Legend (1993), Hackman played U.S. Cavalry general George S. Crook, a role in which he can sympathize with the plight of Geronimo. In Wyatt Earp (1994), Hackman played Earp’s overbearing father, and in The Quick and the Dead (1995), he reprised his role from Unforgiven as Herod, Redemption’s town boss who, again, rules as a tyrant. Altogether, Gene Hackman has been nominated five times for Academy Awards and has won twice.
