Gene Hackman's favorite Santa Fe restaurant becomes memorial for late actor as fans flock to location
Fans of the late actor Gene Hackman have memorialized him at one of his go-to restaurants in Santa Fe, New Mexico.
Owner Doug Lanham, who was a dear friend of Hackman's and former business partner, told TMZ the Superman star would sometimes drop in for a bite or to pay patrons' tabs. O'Brien recalled the 2008 moment when Hackman visited the restaurant as celebrity chef Guy Fieri was filming a segment for Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives. Daniel Lenihan, a friend of the couple, told People this week that prior to their deaths Betsy had been 'trying to keep [Gene] as active and engaged and as healthy as possible,' adding that Hackman did puzzles and yoga via Zoom every daily.
