I'm looking for a Gene Hackman Biography, and/or a clip of him talking about MISSISSIPPI BURNING. Thanks in advance!

Good article but missing a couple things.

1. No mention that Gene was actually considered for the part of Mike Brady in The Brady Bunch TV series. Didn’t happen of course as Robert Reed got the part.

2. No mention of Mooseport (2004).

I thought this line from the article was really interesting...

Then Hackman makes his directorial debut with Thomas Harris’ best-selling novel, The Silence of the Lambs, also for Orion.

Of course he did not direct The Silence of the Lambs but interesting that he was supposed to before Demme took over.
