Despite rumors of estrangement, Gene Hackman's three children maintained regular communication with him before his death in February. Reports clarify that there are no intentions to contest his will, as they believe their inheritance is secure through trusts set up by Hackman. The family is currently navigating the public release of investigation records related to Hackman's death, with their lawyer emphasizing the potential trauma from disclosed footage. Hackman's children, from his first marriage, were reportedly well cared for despite not being named directly in his will.
Sources close to the three children also dismiss speculation that they will challenge his will, which reportedly didn't specifically name them as beneficiaries.
Hackman had the three children during his first marriage to Faye Maltese from 1956 to 1986: Christopher Hackman, 65, and daughters Leslie Hackman, 62, and Elizabeth Hackman, 58.
In fact, according to the Daily Mail, the French Connection legend and his children were in regular contact before his death in February, though mostly by phone.
An attorney for the Hackman family estate also argued for the family's right to privacy, saying that the public release of certain body-camera footage could traumatize them.
