After Gene Hackman’s death, his daughter, Leslie Anne Allen, made a rare public appearance. She was spotted running errands “casually,” which sparked mixed reactions online. Some criticized her “lack of sadness,” while others questioned her relationship with Hackman, accusing her of only showing up for the inheritance.

Hackman, 93, passed away on February 26, 2025, alongside his wife, Betsy Arakawa. Their deaths under “mysterious circumstances” have raised speculation. Arakawa died on February 11 from hantavirus, and Hackman reportedly died from heart disease a week later. Authorities are still investigating the details.

The couple’s estate, estimated at $80 million, has become a topic of debate. Many online claim Hackman’s children “weren’t involved” in his life and suggest the fortune might go to other beneficiaries. Legal experts predict a “lengthy probate process.”

Arakawa had been Hackman’s primary caregiver in his final years. Her sudden death has intensified curiosity about their passing and the future of Hackman’s legacy.
Despite public criticism, Leslie Anne Allen has not addressed the speculation. As one user put it, “She only shows up now.” Others argue it’s a private family matter, but the controversy around Hackman’s estate continues.
