TCM to Honor Gene Hackman with Special Night of Programming in May

TCM has announced a special night of programming in May to honor legendary actor Gene Hackman, who passed away under tragic circumstances in late February at the age of 95. “Honoring Gene Hackman” will begin at 8pm EST on May 12, presenting five films selected from throughout the cinematic icon’s career, from his late ’60s breakthrough to his most memorable moments as a 1980s leading man.

The tribute will kick off with 1967’s Bonnie & Clyde, which got Hackman his first-ever Oscar nod for playing Buck Barrow, older brother to Warren Beatty‘s Clyde.
