Gene Hackman’s Love Notes Reveal Tender Goodbye

Gene Hackman’s love notes to his wife Betsy reveal a tender side of the Hollywood legend—and a heartbreaking glimpse into his later years.

Gene Hackman used to leave notes for his wife Betsy, like one where he thanked her for helping him prepare HER birthday dinner.

FULL STORY:  95-year-old Gene Hackman was in the habit of leaving sweet little notes around the house for his wife Betsy, and they were released by police along with other documents and photos from their house.

In one note, Gene thanked Betsy for helping him make HER birthday dinner.  Quote, “Good morning.  Happy several days after your birthday.  Sorry still about the dinner and having to ask for your help, although it was appreciated.”

He ended it, “Love you and the guys, G.”  The guys, presumably, were their dogs.

In another note, he seemed to address his battle with Alzheimer’s disease.  He said, quote, “Ho, Ho, I am off to see the Wizard, the Wizz of Achie, Pokie.  She stabs me here and stabs me there, she stabs me almost everywhere (almost).

“But I survive because after [all] I am still alive.  [But some times just barely].”

Betsy also left notes for Gene, often letting him know when she was going somewhere, like yoga class or a vet appointment.  She ended one of those notes by letting him know that, quote, “There is a jigsaw puzzle on the table.”  Check out more here.

Meet Scott and Sadie: the anti-heroes of morning radio turned podcast renegades. Scott’s 40 years in broadcasting have left him fluent in snark, while Sadie’s nepotistic origins (thanks, Mom!) brought the unfiltered charm that made them a Northern Colorado favorite. After corporate radio ghosted them harder than a bad Tinder date, the duo ditched FCC babysitters and went full rogue. Now, they’re back with a podcast that’s equal parts wit, sarcasm, and a big middle finger to mediocrity. Loyal fans, curious newcomers, or algorithm strays—welcome to the chaos.
