For his role in which film did Gene Hackman win his first acting Academy Award?

Always loved Gene! So great in so many roles—“The Conversation” is another.

Awesome film. He was also great in Birdcage!

Maestro13, Yes , I still watch the, Birdcage,,Nathan Lane. My favorite,,so funny,,

Maestro13, one of the funniest movie scenes ever was Gene dressed in drag. He made any role great.

Always superb in his roles my favorite G.H. films are "The Quick & The Dead" (1995). & "Mississippi Burning" (1988). He did an excellent job with those two, IMHO.

The old blind man in Young Frankenstein

Gene is a great actor.

I enjoyed him in the movie "Hoosier's"
