The passing of Gene Hackman and Betsy Arakawa has brought profound sorrow to the Hollywood film industry and the world at large. Yet, a recent disclosure adds an extra layer of sadness to their departure. As per the latest news, these esteemed figures shared a deep affection for each other, and even when one was away, they took care to make sure the other felt cared for.

As reported by The Sun, the previously enigmatic couple, who tragically passed away, were known to exchange affectionate notes with one another. A trove of heartfelt letters, brimming with love and concern, was recently unearthed from their home – the same location where the bodies of the renowned Hollywood actor and his talented musician spouse were discovered.

Although the exact dates are unknown, one letter contains Gene Hackman referring to Betsy Arakawa as a “charming young woman.” The distinctive dot at the end of the letter is what verified it as having been penned by the actor from the film Mississippi Burning.

 

1. “Gene Hackman often ended his letters with ‘Love, G’. In a heartwarming letter, he penned, ‘Good morning, dear one. Thoughts of you and the others are on my mind. Sincerely, G.'”

2. “In his correspondence, Gene Hackman would sign off as ‘Love, G’. One tender message read, ‘Morning, sweetheart. My thoughts are with you and the rest. Yours, G.'”

In another correspondence, it emerged that Hackman might have been dealing with some health concerns, hinting at a medical appointment.

He mentioned that he was planning on heading towards the structure located beyond the heated water spot where you often rest. Once he arrives, he intends to perform the usual tasks associated with such a location – perhaps the purpose will become clearer to him upon arrival.

Likewise, similar affectionate messages were also found from Betsy Arakawa. In one note, she penned:

“Hi G! Tending to Zin for obedience training and a vet check-up. Can’t wait to see you again at home! There’s a jigsaw puzzle waiting on the table. Hugs, B.

The couple was found dead in their Santa Fe home in February.
