Film historian and author James L Neibaur took to Twitter yesterday to share a recent photo of Superman: The Movie star Gene Hackman. The actor, who won Academy Awards for The French Connection (Best Actor) and Unforgiven (Best Supporting Actor), retired from show business seventeen years ago, and has been largely absent from public life since. According to Neibaur, Hackman is living in New Mexico, and remains active at age 91 (although the photo in question was taken when Hackman was 89). Hackman’s last film was in the 2004 comedy Welcome to Mooseport, although in the years since, he has provided a voice for a pair of military-themed documentaries.
