This week 13 years ago Crimson Tide premiered (May 12, 1995)

Born:

January 30, 1930

Born as:

Eugene Alden Hackman

Gene dropped out of school at 16 to join the marines. Discharged, he moved to New York and from job to job. Gene studied commercial drawing and radio technique, journalism and TV production. In his late 20s, he decided that he wanted to become an actor. He began getting small roles off Broadway and on TV. His break came with Bonnie and Clyde (1967). But in 1971, Hackman finally scored a leading role as New York policeman Popeye Doyle in The French Connection. Gene followed this triumph with several other true-to-life performances, most memorably in The conversation (1974). He took a surprising turn by playing the comic villain Lex Luthor in the smash hit Superman (1978) after which he took several years off. In the early 1980s, Gene made less successful film choices but in the latter half of the decade he kept hammering out one strong performance after another. In the early 1990s, Hackman underwent surgery for heart problems, but he continued to work steadily.
