Gene Hackman’s Ranch
For many years, Hackman has chosen to live a solitary and tranquil life in Santa Fe, New Mexico, despite being one of the biggest stars in Hollywood. Away from the flash and glamour of Hollywood, he takes comfort in the peace and quiet of his ranch with his talented pianist wife, Betsy Arakawa. Because Hackman doesn’t often do interviews, it’s even more fascinating to see peeks into his private life.
Hackman discussed his incredible career and the 50th anniversary of his breakthrough picture, “The French Connection,” in a rare interview conducted in late 2021. Even though the movie surely launched his career and brought him his first Best Actor Oscar in 1972, Hackman acknowledged that he rarely watches his own films again. To be exact, he hasn’t watched “The French Connection” since movie came out fifty years ago. His distinct viewpoint as an actor considering his own memorable roles is quite fascinating.
