Legendary Hollywood actor Gene Hackman has been found dead in his Santa Fe, New Mexico home alongside his wife, classical pianist Betsy Arakawa, according to the Santa Fe New Mexican, citing police.

Santa Fe County police discovered the body of the two-time Oscar winner, 95, and 63-year-old Arakawa — his wife of 34 years and their dog — on Wednesday afternoon.

No foul play is suspected and no cause of death has been announced.

Santa Fe County Sheriff Adan Mendoza confirmed the news on Thursday.

Hackman was one of the most accomplished actors of all time, thanks to star turns in “The French Connection,” “Bonnie and Clyde” and “The Royal Tenenbaums.”

The actor’s prolific resume includes two Oscars, three Golden Globes and the Cecil B. DeMille Award, bestowed in 2003.

“I hadn’t realized how much one small gesture can mean,” Hackman told GQ in 2011. “Maybe that’s why I became an actor.”

Hackman joined the Marines at 16, serving four-and-a half years in China, Japan, and Hawaii, before seeking a degree in journalism and television production at the University of Illinois.

He abandoned those plans to pursue a serious acting career, enrolling at 27 in the Pasadena Playhouse in California, where he met 19-year-old Dustin Hoffman.

“There was something about him that — like he had a secret. You just knew he was going to do something,” Hackman recalled to Vanity Fair in 2004.

They formed a tight-knit group with Robert Duvall and tried to launch their careers in NYC.

A really a sad breaking news to report here: the Associated Press is now reporting that Lisa Marie Presley, Elvis Presley’s only daughter, has died at age 54. Her mother, Priscilla Presley, confirmed the news to the Associated Press after just a few hours ago, asking for prayers for her daughter. Lisa Marie apparently went into some sort of cardiac arrest earlier today. They tried to revive her, but it ultimately was not enough.

Apparently, she was found in her bedroom unresponsive by a housekeeper. Her ex-husband got home because they were living together again, after taking the kids to school. TMZ says that he performed CPR until paramedics arrived … and we have this terrible update here and thinking of Priscilla Presley, because Lisa Marie is only 54 years old.

Hey, we just showed you some video of her, on Extra, from just yesterday. She was at the Golden Globes over the weekend, Austin Butler was one of the big winners, who plays her father in Elvis. He thanked her. Billy Bush had this conversation with her, thought at the time something seemed a little off with her. Billy is going to join us in about 15 minutes on the Fox 11 News.

Priscilla Presley did release a statement, saying „She was the most passionate strong and loving woman I have ever known.” Can you imagine the heartbreak of a mother to lose a child, and Lisa Marie Presley has four children of her own, one of them did die from suicide, but she has her children, too and they must be grieving so terribly this morning.
