Jean Hakman “loved to act and hated everything that went with him”

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

This for film director Barry Sonenfeld is how he will remember Jean Hakman, who died at the age of 95.

The endless hours of hair and makeup, multiple receivables and studios note all the disappointed hackman, Sonenfeld told BBC News.

They also made actors who appeared without knowing their lines – in particular John Travolta, who has a Hakman collided with on the set of the 1995 movie, Get Shorty, which directed Sonnenfeld.

In the days after the news of Hakman's death, I talk to people who, like Sononfeld, knew and worked with him.

What is clear immediately is how serious a hackman took acting and how thoroughly he coped with the scripts.

But it is also clear that he was cautious of Hollywood seizures.

Hakman, a two -time Oscar winner, died with his wife Betsy Arakawa, 65, and their dog at his home in New Mexico. No cause was given to death, but police said the situation was “suspicious” enough to earn the investigation.

Officials stated on Friday that Point of a hackman, which has been dead from February 17, 10 days before the bodies of the couples are found.

Here, in Los Angeles, Hakman's face is everywhere on television newsletters and newspapers.

His death was that everyone was talking, as stars gathered for parties before Oscars.

I was at one of these events on Thursday night, where American actor John and Rail told me that he was expecting the academy to celebrate a hackman on Sunday. “I don't see how you could have the Oscars without mentioning a great like him who has passed.”

For Sonnenfeld and to Irish director John Moore – who directed a hackman in 2001 behind enemy lines – it was the Hakman's way to handle the scripts that demonstrate his brilliance. He will remove all the screenwriter's notes on how his character should deliver his lines.

“Because he didn't want any screenwriter to tell him how he should feel at that moment,” Sonenfeld said.

“So he had unique cut and set out scenarios that had no information from the writer about anything because he wanted to make these elections, not the writer.”

Moore remembers a similar incident from the first time he was shooting with a hackman.

“He was just quietly sitting there, taking out the scripts, cutting them, removing external things like the descriptions on the stage, and then gluing them back to empty pages,” he said.

He said Hakman said to him, “My action is my job, you are doing the rest.”

“This put the fear of God into me,” Moore said, laughing.

“In essence, he said,” I have no need for anything as I am so good. Better bring your A-game as you wear mine. “

Not only did this unnecessary notes from the studio bother a hackman.

“He had this conflict because he was this brilliant actor, but he hated the tropes of what was needed to act in films,” said Sononfeld.

“(He) he hated to make up. Putting the wardrobe. The wardrobe after the pole, removing their lip brush and rubbing their wardrobe.

“All such vain hair and makeup and all these things, I think it crashes it.”

Nor did he often want to socialize after the photos, Moore said.

“I would try to drink with him after we shoot and went to the minibar,” he said.

“He would have one, it was.

“It's all about Jean for acting,” Sonnenfeld added. “End of history. Get me out of here as quickly as possible.”

Hakman can be a “hard actor” to work with, Sonenfeld said. “He did not suffer from fools.”

In “Get Shorty”, Hakman participates with Travolta, who plays a mafia in Miami, sent to collect debt.

“Jean was a perfect actor, technically and artistically. So he came to know his lines every day,” Sonenfeld said.

“John came so he didn't know his lines, he probably didn't read the script the night before.”

This led to a reflection on the first day of the photos.

Sonnenfeld recalls Travolta – which he describes as “charming but not just aware” – asks Hackman what he did over the weekend.

Hakman replied, “Nothing but to learn the lines,” to which Travolta replied, “Well, this is a loss of weekend,” according to Sonnenfeld.

As the photos continued, Hakman became “more fierce and more fierce” in his co-star without knowing his lines.

Sononfeld said he had left a hackman to bring his fury on him.

“For the next 12 weeks, he yells at me every time John didn't know his lines,” he said.

“But he's great in a movie. And I knew he was never angry with me.”

Travolta is not reported to be the only one who rubs a hackman in the wrong way.

He is reported to have encountered others, including the director of the Royal Tennenbaus Wes Anderson.

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

“Jean was really rude to Wes,” recalled Bill Murray, who starred in a hackman in the movie of the hit 2001, in Interview with the Associated PressS

“He was a difficult anger, Jean Hakman. But he was really good.”

Moore, for his part, said he never felt Hakman was difficult to work with.

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

“My memories are to laugh and smile and tell many funny jokes.”

Moore admitted that Hakman may have been annoyed with anyone on the set, which made his role greater than it was.

“So I could see how he could be ridiculous for the actors who were boring themselves,” he said.

“But again he returned to the question – he just really wanted to make the movies exceptional.”

Hakman withdrew from acting in 2004. And since then, he has lived a quiet life in New Mexico with his wife.

“I suspect one of the reasons to move to Santa Fe, again, great outdoors and as far away from Hollywood as you can get,” said Sonenfeld.

In 2008, Hakman gave a rare interview with Reuters, in which he was asked If he missed acting masteryS

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

“The compromises you need to make in the movies are just part of the beast and came to a point where I just didn't feel like I wanted to do it more.”

But he added: “I miss the actual acting part of it, as this is what I did almost 60 years.

“And I really liked it.”
