Legendary actor Gene Hackman was found dead in his home on February 26, 2025, at the age of 95. Along with the Superman star, the bodies of his wife, Betsy Arakawa, 63, and their dog were also found.

Friends of the late Hollywood star Gene Hackman made a telling admission on his status days following his death. Hackman, who starred in movies like "Hoosiers" and "Crimson Tide," was found dead in his New Mexico home last week.

The Athletic placed "Hoosiers" at No. 15 on its list of the top 100 sports movies, with “Rocky” taking first. On Rotten Tomatoes, "Hoosiers" is ranked as the No. 53 best sports movie with a certified fresh score of 91%. "Hoosiers" did not win any Academy Awards -- unlike AP's runner-up "Rocky," which won the Oscar for Best Picture in 1977.
