00:00And I lost a dear friend, Gene Hackman.
00:12I had the pleasure of working alongside Gene on two films, Unforgiven and Under Suspicion.
00:21And like everyone who's ever shared a scene with him, I learned he was a generous performer and a man
00:32whose gifts elevated everyone's work.
00:37He received two Oscars, but more importantly, he won the hearts of film lovers all over the world.
00:48Gene always said, I don't think about legacy.
00:52I just hope people remember me as someone who tried to do good work.
00:59So I think I speak for us all when I say, Gene, you'll be remembered for that and for so
01:08much more.
01:11Rest in peace, my friend.
