Battle over Gene Hackman's $80M fortune possible as shocking details of his will are revealed


Gene Hackman and Betsy Arakawa's wills have been revealed a month after their deaths.

Other unknown factors include whether Hackman and Arakawa made any pre-nuptial or post-nuptial agreements, and if any children or other potential beneficiaries will make claims on the estate.
