tracy 2,392 Posted August 28, 2022 That picture is from May 2017. For some reason, viral tweets about Gene Hackman talking about his current life and how he goes biking etc. that include photos from a few years ago claiming to be recent are somewhat common. 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The picture in my post on May 13th seems to be the most reliably most recent photo taken at a social event this year. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He looks pretty good there in my humble opinion .Yes thinner but otherwise looks pretty damn good for 92.Could pass for an 80 year old. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He appeared again at a signing event in November: Looks a little frailer than he did in the late 2010s, but nothing out of the ordinary for 93 (happy belated). Feel like he'll probably debut on the DL next year if he makes it? 7 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DoorSlammer 561 Posted January 31, 2023 Looks like he aged considerably in those six months, but it's hard to say for sure when he's looking down like that and not smiling. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DCI Frank Burnside 3,878 Posted January 31, 2023 Holy shit looks like he's gotten frailer. Worthy of consideration for the 2024 DL 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sean 6,309 Posted January 31, 2023 Starting to look a lot frailer sadly.Not unexpected for a 93 year old.Yeah I can see him making DL 2024 if he is still with us. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Daredevil 1,189 Posted January 31, 2023 He is certainly getting frailer but still looking good all things considered for a 92 year old male. He is actually in similar form to Clint Eastwood nowadays, it’ll be interesting to see which of them has the last laugh. Both are worth holding out until the 2025 DL IMO, but I’ll completely understand if their induction is next year. There are many sicker looking and quieter old celebrities. At least Hackman can still pull off a neat signature. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DCI Frank Burnside 3,878 Posted March 10, 2023 Driving himself too! Looking at that currently the only thing that reason you'd put him on the list next year is his age given how quickly things can turn at that age. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Still, there is that trio of 90 year old (or now, 91) legendary actors Gene Hackman, Clint Eastwood and Robert Duvall. They all "should" make the List soon. They all have now in 2024. Nice little trio there 7 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DoorSlammer 561 Posted March 29 NOT DEAD. I'm not Thatcher or tracy. Hackman made a new public appearance and based on the photos he looks to have physically declined in the past 12 months which wouldn't be that surprising. He's 94, after all. 8 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

tracy 2,392 Posted March 30 He does look pretty frail, but can't be doing that badly given he's still walking sans cane in the Speedway shots. That, and I doubt most 94-year-olds would look especially good papped anyway. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MrWonderful 480 Posted March 31 First time I've thought this: he has to go on my list next year if he makes it. He's looking VERY gaunt now. In those pics of him coming out of the convenience store, look at his right arm below the elbow. It's like skeletal. And the discoloration not only on his hands/wrists/arms but his face too. I suppose it's good that he can still stand on his own, albeit with the cane and his wife's assistance coming down those steps at the restaurant, but he does not look like a healthy person here, not even at his age. But I know, he's 94. He's alive and that's better than the alternative, I suppose, as long as he's not suffering. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MortalCaso 1,624 Posted March 31 Those photos could easily go in the thread devoted to last image before death. Sad to say, 2025 seems like a long shot. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He looks extremely frail and his skin has clear mottling, not a good sign at all. On top of this it looks like his neck posture is definitely bent forward (something that can happen to very old people who are frail or have skeletal issues, Tom Stafford is a good example of this). Looks like a solid DL pick now. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sad to say, 2025 seems like a long shot. might be the first set of photos I have seen this year of one of my picks that I can say glad I have them on my list. Any other photo or video I have seen of one of my picks they look great and you feel they are not a great space holder and have a little regret of not picking someone else. I have seen Joan Collins, Tippi Hedren, Marion Ross, Micheal Cane. None of them seem to be struggling much for their ages Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MrWonderful 480 Posted April 9 Another outing in public, wearing the same clothes as last time. Still looks rough, but he's able to move around unaided. I suppose that's something when you're 94. Will still be going on my list next year if he makes it. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
