Gene Hackman has died along with wife and dog (Merged)

He and Robert Duvall were 1A/1B as the preeminent character actors of that generation (maybe any generation)
Hoosiers (though he was the lead in that) and Unforgiven

Yup, I would throw Redford in there as well....RIP to a truly great one, his role in Hoosiers is one of the best, most convincing performances I've ever seen on screen.....
