Playing The Role

An interview with Gene Hackman about the making of The French Connection, the 1971 film that made him a star.  If you haven't seen it, the clips show the grittiness of New York City in that era.  Great film.

Hackman is one of those stars who is always good, even if the movie isn't (Denzel Washington is another one like that).  Gene retired from acting in 2004 and is now 94, living in Santa Fe, New Mexico.
