Oscar-winning actor Gene Hackman, his wife Betsy Arakawa and their dog were found dead at their home in New Mexico on Wednesday.
The Santa Fe New Mexican cited County Sheriff Adan Mendoza, who confirmed the news to the newspaper. Mendoza said there was no immediate indication of foul play in their deaths.
“This is an active and ongoing investigation,” a spokesperson said via email to Newsweek.
Who was Betsy Arakawa?
Betsy Arakawa was a former classical pianist and businesswoman. Born in Hawaii, she built a career in music before transitioning into entrepreneurship. Arakawa was co-owner of a Santa Fe-based home furnishing business, which she operated for years.
The couple met while she was working part-time in a gym in California, and they wed in 1991. The two lived a quiet life in Santa Fe, where Hackman had retired after stepping away from Hollywood in 2004. Unlike her husband’s highly public career, Arakawa preferred to stay out of the spotlight, focusing on their life together away from the entertainment industry. Arakawa, 63, was a classical pianist.
