Weeks after Gene Hackman and wife Betsy Arakawa were found deceased in their home, their wills have been revealed. However, it remains unclear what will happen with Hackman's estate, as he'd left 100% of his assets to Arakawa.
Hackman and Arakawa had been married since 1991, and the couple never had any children together. From his first marriage to Faye Maltese, Hackman had three children: Christopher Allen, 65; Leslie Anne, 58; and Elizabeth Jean, 62. According to a new report by TMZ, it's been revealed that none of Hackman's children were named in his will. The Unforgivenmovie actor had named Arakawa as the sole beneficiary of his estate back in 1995, and hadn't since had his will amended.
Details about Arakawa's will have also been revealed. Most of her assets were supposed to go to Hackman in the event of her death, though in this case, it's known what will happen to them instead after Hackman's passing.

While most of the founding X-Men remain iconic characters to this day, Beast stands out as one who's become more problematic with time.
