Ran into him and his wife (then girlfriend) back in the 1980's at LA airport. They were walking together down an empty concourse carrying a steamer like trunk between them. As I passed them all I could muster to say was, "How you doing Mr. Hackman?" He just nodded and continued walking. He was such a great actor! I'm certain he was excited to see me, but he didn't show it! LOL.
Loved his work. Another great has left us.
