[Gene Hackman]

I do wish he hadn't totally retired, but it's likely best for his legacy
that he did.

He didn't retire. I recall an interview he gave several years after his
final movie in which he complained he wasn't being offered any scripts.
It's not like he was unwilling to play supporting roles, which he had
done throughout his long career.

More like he wasn't working due to circumstances.
