This time, it is Jennifer Love Hewitt who has been left heartbroken.
The 46-year-old is expressing her sadness over the passing of her Heartbreakers costar Gene Hackman who, on Feb. 26, was discovered dead in his New Mexico home alongside his wife Betsy Arakawa and one of their three dogs.
“I was one of many lucky enough to work with Gene Hackman,” Jennifer shared in an exclusive statement to E! News. “He was light and talent and goodness. We will all miss you.”
The pair starred together in the 2001 film, which saw Jennifer’s character work alongside her onscreen mother Sigourney Weaver to con men—including Gene’s character William B. Tensy—into and right back out of marriage, stealing their money along the way.
The Ghost Whisperer alum is just one of many mourning the loss of the Hollywood mainstay, whose career-spanning decade was marked by countless films and many awards.
Another titan of film, Francis Ford Coppola—who worked with Gene on 1974’s The Conversation—was among the first to pay tribute to the late actor.
