Gene Hackman, a Hollywood giant and two-time Oscar winner, was found dead along with his wife and dog in their New Mexico home Wednesday, though investigators believe they may have been dead for some time and the cause of death has yet to be revealed.

Gene Hackman and his wife Betsy Arakawa’s love story was one for the big screen. “They had a true love affair…Capital L love,” film producer Matthew Gross, exclusively told the Post on Thursday. “They were very happy together, and we are all incredibly, incredibly shocked by this.”
