I wore Superman 1 out as a kid. All of them actually, but Superman 1 was special to me.

All time great actor. Sad. Sounds like carbon monoxide poisoning. No foul play expected.

I spent some time with the guy who runs The Hoosier Gym in Knightstown & he said both Hackman and Hopper were awesome during the filming of Hoosiers. They socialized with crew and were very cool (unlike the leading lady in the film).
Underrated actor. He was believable in so many different roles. I'm glad he got the lead in Hoosiers instead of Jack Nicholson.

Underrated?

He was pretty widely considered one of the best of his generation. Two Oscars, etc.

Sad news. If anything, a greatly underrated actor who could seemingly play any part. He was even great doing comedy, as he did in Young Frankenstein (the blind hermit Lol!) and his part in The Birdcage. RIP

I was just thinking of him yesterday in Hoosiers.

Loss for us.

 

[Tammany Hall]

Sad.

Kinda interesting during filming he thought Hoosiers was going poorly and the movie would wreck his career. Then it did just the opposite. He was perfectly cast in that movie.
