Gene Hackman | Novelist

During his nearly five-decade acting career, Gene Hackman earned a slew of investments and accolades. As a result, it is no lie to say that he is one of the greatest living actors. He played various well-known roles in films such as Bonnie and Clyde and Superman: The Movie. However, it’s worth noting that Hackman stopped acting in the early 2000s.

That isn’t to say that Hackman isn’t involved in the film industry anymore. He was the narrator in a 2016 documentary called The Unknown Flag Raiser of Iwo Jima, which aired on the Smithsonian Channel. Hackman is also a writer who has published a series of historical fiction novels set in various periods and locations, from the Great Depression to the Wild West. So, if Hackman fans want to see what he’s been up to since retiring from acting, they should look for new books rather than new movies.
