1930Gene Hackman born in San Bernardino, CaliforniaEugene Allen Hackman was born on 30 January 1930 in San Bernardino, California, the eldest of three children of Eugene Ezra Hackman, a newspaper pressman, and Anna Lyda Elizabeth. The family moved frequently before settling in Danville, Illinois. When Hackman was thirteen, his father abandoned the family -- a wound that shaped his understanding of absent, complicated and morally ambiguous men, the characters he would spend a career inhabiting.
