	Gene Hackman - Biography - Moviefone
		While remaining the subject of great critical acclaim, Hackman's box-office prowess was beginning to slip: 1975's Lucky Lady, 1977's The Domino, and March or Die were all costly flops, and although 1978's Superman -- in which he appeared as the villainous Lex Luthor -- was a smash, his career continued to suffer greatly.
		Apart from the inevitable Superman 2, Hackman was absent from the screen for several years, and with the exception of a fleeting appearance in Beatty's 1981 epic Reds, most of his early-'80s work -- specifically, the features All Night Long and Eureka -- passed through theaters virtually unnoticed.
		By the middle of the decade, Hackman was again as prolific as ever, headlining a pair of 1986 pictures -- the little-seen Power and the sleeper hit Hoosiers -- before returning to the Man of Steel franchise for 1987's Superman 4: The Quest for Peace.

	Fametracker :: The Fame Audit :: Gene Hackman
		Onscreen, Hackman rarely expends more energy than is necessary -- in movies such as Absolute Power or Wyatt Earp, he gives the impression that he arrived on the set that morning, gave his lines a quick once-over, then polished off his scenes in one take, while his driver kept the motor running in the limo.
		As such, Hackman may seem like a star, but in fact he's a kind of super-stalwart -- the type of actor who, in a just universe, would be the rule and not a singular exception.
		Hackman, on the other hand, doesn't talk wistfully about the work; he simply does it, and does it well, in role after role after role.
