Gene Hackmanhas been in the entertainment business for decades.
The 92-year-old actor has had many successful roles under his belt (perScreen Rant).
If you noticed you haven’t seen Hackman around in a while, that’s no accident.
According toBest Life, the actor retired from Hollywood in 2004.
He chose to leave the industry not because he wanted to, but due to health concerns.
A doctor warned him that the stress of acting was not safe for his heart.
He married a woman much younger than he was.
While many fans remember his second marriage, few recall the actor’s first wife.
The pair tied the knot in 1991 and Arakawa is 30 years younger than the actor.
However, decades later they are still happily together.
Prior to his marriage to Arakawa, Hackman had a long-term relationship with his first wife.
According toAmoMama, Hackman’s first wife was Faye Maltese.
When Hackman met Maltese, a secretary in New York City, it was love at first sight.
They would get married and have three children together named Christopher, Elizabeth, and Leslie.
According toDicy Trends, the pair were together for nearly three decades before separating.
She passed away in 2017.
