Probably like thousands of others but has they have status they don't get a mention.
a reasonable point. Ancient me is having so much trouble to access government services for the elderly but others are worse off.
Just filling in forms is a nightmare. I always remember my dear NYC pal when applying for welfare in the 70s (actually quite generous in the US) and that he said you needed a College education to understand the forms to fill in.
I'm a bit puzzled by Hackman's daughters who apparently hadn't seen him for months. Was their a family rift?
Also surprised that at his advanced age and with wealth, he didn't have a live-in or daily carer,

I didn't mean pride in a pejorative sense; rather, pride born out of love.

Dreadfully sad. A truly great man taken so cruelly.
