Disturbing new theory of what REALLY killed Gene Hackman as his close friend of more than 20 years points the finger at the actor's 'devoted' wife

Daily Mail  

The running joke among friends of two-time Academy Award-winning actor Gene Hackman, renowned for his rugged roles as hard-scrabble cops and villainous sheriffs, was that they knew who really wore the pants in his house – his devoted, oddly overprotective, wife, Betsy. If he fell, she would have a hard time lifting him,' Hackman's golf buddy, business partner and friend of more than two decades, Tom Allin, 75, exclusively tells the Daily Mail. Betsy was so controlling of her ailing husband that she kept him isolated, says Allin, even though the Hackman's $80 million fortune meant they could have afforded 24-hour live-in care.
