Legendary Actor Gene Hackman and Wife Found Dead in Santa Fe Home

Legendary actor Gene Hackman, aged 95, and his wife, classical pianist Betsy Arakawa, 63, were found dead in their Santa Fe home on Wednesday afternoon. Their dog was also found deceased at the property. The Santa Fe County Sheriff’s Office confirmed the deaths, stating there was no immediate indication of foul play. The cause of death remains unknown, pending the results of an autopsy.

Hackman, a two-time Oscar winner, had lived in Santa Fe since the 1980s and married Arakawa in 1991. The couple were discovered in separate rooms of their home in the Santa Fe Summit gated community. Sheriff Adan Mendoza described the investigation as preliminary, with authorities awaiting approval for a search warrant. He assured the public that there was no immediate danger to the community.

Hackman’s illustrious career spanned decades, earning him accolades for iconic roles in films such as The French Connection and Unforgiven. He retired from acting in 2008, focusing on writing historical fiction novels in his later years. Arakawa, a talented pianist, had been a constant presence by his side since their marriage.
