talent gene hackaman

Gene Hackman always turned back to painting during the breaks in his filming, and now that he's retired, he paints regularly. And well! In an "Inside the Actor's Studio" interview, Gene said laughing, "I thought maybe I could feed myself as an artist while I was waiting to be an actor." I would venture to say that he's almost as talented a painter as he is an actor. I happen to know this because he's randomly besties with my dad. [Pop Life Art]
