came here to hear his take on LL but wow what a true artist. who doesn't adore Gene Hackman. what a talented actor. he played such intensity but is really a kind soul. just amazing, I so miss seeing him on the big screen.

Before I get to my main point, hollywood has a way of using this word star. Around this time Terry Wogan was doing his chat show. That's when stars were stars. Not like today. Gene Hackman is a Superb actor.

5:01 Gene (and his life) would be a great example for anyone today who is unfortunately trapped by illusions of success through fame. The timestamp is just one standout example provided by Gene, and it eludes to where a man or woman’s focus needs to NOT be, for achieving success: success is not so much about ignoring ‘the money’, either, but that’s a good start!

Lol. Wogan was lovingly known to put his foot in it in a kind way. A funny guy and great interviewer. Guests were always relaxed around his irish charm. What a down to earth guy Hackman is though

[@Awon5]
