Night Moves is a devastating film, with Hackman playing a deeply depressed man, but never doing so in a showy way. Just watching him in bed, talking about his struggles, could be agonizing, because it felt so personal. Every moment of that performance stays with you.

If you haven't seen The Conversation, do. One of both Coppola and Hackman's best films, and a great spooky set of performances Harrison Ford, Frederic Forrest and even Cindy Williams. (Teri Garr is there too, being Teri Garr.)

Gene Hackman was one of my favorite actors. Every role he took on was effortlessly real. It never felt like he was reciting script (Philip Seymour Hoffmann was another).

This and Michelle Trachtenberg are tough ones today.

SMG says: “Michelle, listen to me. Listen. I love you. I will always love you. The hardest thing in this world, is to live in it. I will be brave. I will live… for you.”

😪  Michelle played young Bianca when SMG played Kendall Hart. She then recommended her for the part of Dawn on Buffy and were very close on set. She must be heartbroken. She saw that little girl grow up over the years. Heck, I still cannot believe Michelle was 39.

Michelle was also very good in Disney's Ice Princess.

Thank you so much for that backstory. I knew she briefly played Jack's daughter Lily but didn't know about young Bianca!!!

Reading about Gellar's understandable reaction literally made me sob.

I thought Lacey Chabert played Bianca as a child? 

Jesus take the wheel... first Michelle Trachtenberg and now Gene Hackman?! What a week man!

Yes it was Lacey Chabert who played young Bianca.
Michelle Trachtenberg never played Bianca.

You are all absolutely right and apologies for my brain freeze. Michelle played a young Lily Montgomery on AMC  back in the day; Lacey Chabert played young Bianca. Sarah Michelle Gellar coincided with both young actresses when she was on AMC.

Yes, Michelle briefly played Jack's daughter, Lily. It is further confusing that Leven Rambin played Lily longer & Michelle, Misha Barton & Leven all resemble each other.
