He's listed in stable condition according to the report, but he's also 81. Damn. Hope he pulls through.

One of my all-time favorites.

From the same page

update

2:40 PM PST -- Hackman's rep tells TMZ the actor has been released from the hospital and insists he is "fine."

The rep says Gene "suffered bumps and bruises after a woman bumped him from behind in her vehicle."

Are you saying TMZ exaggerated something? GASP.

I like Hackman too, and the grace with which he retired. Of course his last flick was a wretched Ray Romano vehicle, but still.

Now that we know he's OK, I can say the first thing I thought...

If he would have died, would his tombstone have read this?

"Died Tragically Rescuing His Family from the Wreckage of a Destroyed Sinking Battleship"
