Gin Hakman “loved to act and hated everything with him”

“He liked to be an actor, and hated all the things that surround the actor.”

This, for the director of Bar Sonnenfeld, is how he remembers Gina Hakman, who died at the age of 95.

Endless hours in the hair and makeup, repeated and studios say that all hackman, said Sonnenfeld BBC News.

The actors did also do that they showed that not knowing their lines – in particular, John Travolt, with whom Hakman collided with the 1995 movie, Get Shorty, which director Sonnenfeld.

On the days after the news of Hakman’s death, I talked to people who, like Sonnenfeld, knew and worked with him.

It immediately realized how seriously Hakman accepted the acting and how carefully he was engaged in scripts.

But it was also clear that he was wary of Hollywood’s receipts.

Hakman, a two-time Oscar winner, died with his wife Betsi Arakov, 65, and dogs at his home in New Mexico. There were no reasons for death, but the police said the situation was “suspicious enough” to earn the investigation.

Officials said on Friday this Evidence of items Hakman died from February 17, 10 days before the couple’s bodies were found.

Here, in Los -Andeles, Hakman’s face is everywhere in television newsletters and in newspapers.

His death was all whom the stars gathered for the pre-seat parties.

I was at one of those events on Thursday night, where American actor John with Rille told me that on Sunday he was expecting the Academy to honor Hakman. “I don’t see how you might have an” Oscar “without mentioning how it went.”

For Sonnenfeld and Irish director John Moore, led by Hakman in 2001, it was a way of Hakman to engage in scripts that demonstrated his shine. He would delete all the notes of scripts on how his hero should deliver his lines.

“Because he did not want any screenwriter to tell him how he should feel at that moment,” Sonnenfeld said.

“So he had unique cuts and the scripts that had no information about the writer about anything, because he wanted to make this choice, not the writer.”

Moore recalls a similar incident from the first time when he shot with Hakman.

“He just sat quietly there, picking up the script pages, cutting them out, removing extraneous things such as the scene descriptions, and then sticking them back to the empty pages,” he said.

He said that Hakman said to him, “Acting is my work, you do the rest.”

“It has put in my fear of God,” laughing Moore.

“It was essentially, he said, ‘I don’t need anything because I’m so good. Better bring your game because I bring my own. “

These were not only extra studio notes that bothered Hakman.

“He had this conflict that he was this brilliant actor, but he hated the paths needed to make in the movies,” Sonnenfeld said.

“(He) hated dressing. Putting the wardrobe.

“Everything is such a fussy hair and makeup, and all this, I think it’s crazy.”

He also did not want to talk after the shooting, Moore said.

“I would have tried to drink with him after we shot and rise to the minibus,” he said.

“He would have one, that was.

“For Gina, it was about acting,” Sonnenfeld added. “The end of the story. Get me out of here as soon as possible.”

Hackman can be a “heavy actor” to work with, said Sonnenfeld. “He was not injured.”

In Get Shorty, Hakman was shot with a travolta playing in Miami -Mapy, sent to collect debt.

“Gin was an unmatched actor, both technically and in -art. So he came every day, knowing his lines,” Sonnenfeld said.

“John came to set up without knowing his lines, probably without reading the script the night before.”

This led to the analysis on the first day of the shooting.

Sonnenfeld recalls the travolt, which he characterizes as “magical but not experienced” – asking Hakman what he did over the weekend.

Hakman replied: “Nothing but studying the lines”, to which the travolt replied, “Well, this is a waste of weekends,” according to Sonnefeld.

When the pictures continued, Hakman grew “more angry and gloomy” on his compatriot, not knowing his lines.

Sonnenfeld said he allowed Hakman to take his fury.

“For the next 12 weeks he shouted at me when John didn’t know his lines,” he said.

“But he’s wonderful in the movies. And I knew he was never mad at me.”

The travolt was reportedly not the only one who rubbed Hakman wrong.

He reportedly encountered others, including the director of Royal Tenenbaum Wes Anderson.

Later, and perhaps by accident, Hakman called one of his novels escape from Andersonville.

“Gin was really rough in Wes,” Bill Murray, who was shot with Hakman in the 2001 movie Interview with Associated Press.

“He was a tough nut, a gin hackman. But he was really good.”

Moore, for his part, said he never feels that Hakman is hard to work.

“He was patient and relentlessly, impeccably professional,” he said.

“My memories that he laughs and smiles and tells very funny jokes.”

Moore confessed that Hakman may have been annoyed with everyone on the set, which made its role more than it was.

“So, I could see how he could be ridiculous towards the actors who have become,” he said.

“But again it goes back to the business – he just wanted to make movies exceptional.”

Hakman retired from acting in 2004, and has since lived a peaceful life in New -Mexico with his wife.

“I suspect one of the reasons that he moved to Santa – Fe, again, perfectly outdoors and so far from Hollywood as you can get,” Sonnenfeld said.

In 2008, Hakman gave rare interviews with Reuters in which he was asked If he missed the acting skill.

He replied, saying that the business was “very tense” for him.

“The compromises you have to make in movies are only part of the beast, and it came to the point that I just didn’t feel like it wanted to do it anymore.”

But, he added: “I miss the actual acting, because this is what I have been doing for almost 60 years.

“And I loved it very much.”
