Gene Hackman
About Gene
Eugene Allen Hackman was an American actor born in San Bernardino, California. He had a career spanning over four decades and was regarded as one of the greatest actors of his generation. Hackman was associated with the New Hollywood movement and earned several accolades including two Academy Awards, two British Academy Film Awards, one Silver Bear, and four Golden Globe Awards. His acting debut was in the film Lilith in 1964, and he achieved widespread recognition for his diverse roles in film. Hackman received acclaim for his portrayal of Jimmy Popeye Doyle in the action thriller The French Connection, for which he won his first Oscar for Best Actor. His second Oscar came for Best Supporting Actor in Clint Eastwood's Western Unforgiven, where he played a ruthless sheriff. Additionally, he was Oscar-nominated for roles in Bonnie and Clyde and Mississippi Burning. Hackman also gained fame for portraying Lex Luthor in three Superman films and starred in notable movies including The Conversation, Night Moves, Hoosiers, No Way Out, Crimson Tide, The Quick and the Dead, Get Shorty, Enemy of the State, and The Royal Tenenbaums. He retired from acting in 2004 and later authored novels and narrated television documentaries until 2017. His health declined in his later years, and he died in Santa Fe, New Mexico, from complications related to Alzheimer's disease, severe heart disease, and kidney disease. Hackman passed away shortly after the death of his wife, Betsy Arakawa, along with one of their three dogs.

FAQs
Every question we get asked before
someone starts their trial.
If you have a concern about deliverability, AI quality, data privacy, or whether this will actually work for your specific situation, it's probably answered below.
What is the difference between Founder Solo and Founder Pro?
Founder Solo gives you 50 AI pitches per month using the credit model (Standard pitches cost 1 credit, Enriched pitches cost 2). Founder Pro raises that to 200 credits per month and adds full Booking Probability access, unlimited Magic Match, Apollo enrichment credits, and data export capabilities. Both plans use the same credit system, so you can stretch your monthly budget further by using Standard-mode drafting.
How do agency tiers work?
Agency tiers have no base fee. You pay per managed client and per talent profile. Agency Standard is $199 per client per month; Agency Pro is $399 per client per month. Both add $39 per talent profile per month. Your own team's user seats are always free.
What is a talent profile?
A talent profile represents one person (founder, executive, or spokesperson) you are booking onto podcasts. It includes their bio, topics, headshots, and outreach history. Team plans include 5 profiles; agency plans are pay-as-you-go.
Can I switch plans later?
Yes, at any time. Upgrades take effect immediately; downgrades apply at the end of the current billing period. Contact support if you need help migrating between plan families.
Do you offer a free trial?
Every paid plan includes a 15-day free trial. Your card is saved at signup but you will not be charged until day 16. Cancel any time from your dashboard.
What happens if I cancel?
You keep access until the end of your current billing period. No charges after that. Your data is retained for 30 days in case you reactivate.
Is the 20% annual discount automatic?
Yes. Select Annual on the pricing toggle and the discounted price is applied automatically at checkout. The annual price shown is the full year cost.
What if I have more than 50 profiles or 20 clients?
That is our Enterprise tier. Contact our sales team and we will build a custom plan with volume pricing, a dedicated account manager, and SLA guarantees.
