      Just over twenty years since stepping away from Hollywood, the iconic actor Gene Hackman has died at 95. The remains of Hackman, his wife, Betsy Arakawa, 65, and their dog were discovered at their residence in Santa Fe, New Mexico. According to ABC News, the Santa Fe County Sheriff's office conducted a welfare check on Hackman and Arakawa on Wednesday, February 27, when the couple was found. At this time, no cause of death has been revealed.

      Hackman’s acting career started with minor roles in the late '50s before he made his film debut in 1961 with an uncredited role as a policeman in Mad Dog Coll. A decade later, he gained significant recognition as Detective Jimmy “Popeye” Doyle in The French Connection, for which he won the Oscar for Best Actor in 1971. Twenty years later, Hackman won another Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor in Clint Eastwood’s Unforgiven, widely celebrated as one of the greatest westerns of all time.

      One of Hackman’s most renowned performances was as Lex Luthor in Superman, a role he reprised in Superman 2 and Superman IV: The Quest for Peace. A versatile actor, Hackman smoothly transitioned from comedic roles in films like The Birdcage to more serious parts in The Conversation and The Firm. He starred in several well-known films, including The Poseidon Adventure, Scarecrow, Under Fire, Enemy of the State, The Royal Tenenbaums, and Runaway Jury.

      Hackman's last film was the comedy Welcome To Mooseport in 2004. After retiring, he authored two novels, Payback at Morning Peak and Pursuit. For the majority of the past 21 years, Hackman and his wife enjoyed a life away from the limelight.

      The competition for the Premier League’s Champions League qualifying spots is fierce. Though the Premier League is likely to receive an extra fifth spot this year, there is no certainty that Manchester City (13-5-8, 44 points) will secure one of those five positions. Wednesday's match against Tottenham (10-3-13, 33 points) has become crucial for the Sky Blues.

      Manchester City has enjoyed an impressive streak, winning six of the last seven Premier League titles. However, Pep Guardiola's team is expected to be replaced as champions by the end of the season, having lost eight of their last 17 matches in the Premier League.
