    Her leaning forward like that totally pins Hackman into his seat. He has no way to move or deflect her questions. She would've been a terrific police interrogator.

      That's why he crossed his leg, to prevent her from getting closer

    As an educational science student my heart just melted hearing a father talk like that about his children.

      Look up Gene Hackman Inside The Actor’s Studio to hear the background of how he grew that strong understanding of the love a child needs from their father.

    My favorite GH movies are 1 the Poseidon Adventure and 2 Mississippi Burning. Honorable mention goes to Unforgiven and The Quick and the Dead. Long live Gene Hackman! 👍🏾

    I share his opinion/view of "The Conversation". It was an unusual movie and done well and held my interest. I've met him (once) and he seems to be a regular guy.

    Leta Powell Drake was a powerhouse interviewer and I could watch her for hours on end. Her confident abandon, emotional intelligence and wonderful voice are fantastic. She managed to get someone as reserved as Gene Hackman to open up and relax. I LOVE that she said, "you've done some brilliant pictures, you've done some stinkers" and elicited such a fun response from a legendary actor like Gene Hackman. He's one of the best actors, ever, and he took her comment in the benign spirit in which it was intended.

      It looked at first, to me, that she intimidated Hackman, that he didn't completely trust such overt emotionalism, but eventually of course he did. Very impressive. (And I agree with your ranking of Hackman.)

    She’s a very aggressive woman. Super confident. Her interview style is confrontational. It looks to me that Gene Hackman put his leg up as a barrier.

    One of the greatest actors loved him in the French connection The Conversation, Superman, Missiippi burning , I never sang to my father. And many more they don't make actors like him anymore am always thankful I was around to see the best Clint Eastwood Jack Nickelson Christopher Walken Robert De Nero....brilliant

    Not the best interviewer. I feel like she’s a bit in his face leaning forward like that.

    Gene Hackman like in sports you call guys who just take it to another level that dude. Well in acting Gene Hackman is that dude. Superman, Crimson Tide, Bonnie and Clyde. Rarified air. Legend indeed.

  • @viggosimonsen
    @viggosimonsen 4 года назад +9

    That has to be the weirdest interviewer I have ever seen. Even her posture seems a bit intimidating. She does appear to be somewhat drunk
    Looks like Gene Hackman feels the same way

      @LarryFleetwood8675 2 месяца назад

      He got out just at the right time, that year marks the real big change in movie making it all went down hill from there not least visually which means he's lucky he never got to make one of these by the dozen ugly movies we've had for the last two decades.
