Happy 80th

Today marks that birthday for Gene Hackman, an actor who has probably made only a handful of bad movies in his career. Like The Quick and the Dead, for example, but just about any movie in which one co-stars with Sharon Stone will be on one's list of career duds. And in any event, he was pretty much always the best thing those turkeys had going for them.

His IMDB trivia page says that he was one of the actors originally considered to play Mike Brady in The Brady Bunch TV show. I literally cannot conceive what that would look like.
