HAGGARD HACKMAN'S LONELY LAST DAY

Shocking decline of beloved Oscar winner

- 

AILING double Oscar winner Gene Hackman has faded to a shadow of his once-powerful in livin presence and is living his final days as a virtual recluse as pals fear he’s nearing his final curtain call.

Shocking new snaps obtained by The National ENQUIRER show the legendary movie star, 93, shuffling around his neighborhood in Santa Fe, N.M., where he retreated from the spotlight nearly two decades ago.

“He’s extremely gaunt and frail, and grizzled like he doesn’t care to groom much, and he has a stooped walk,” spills an insider. Dr. Gabe Mirkin, who doesn’t treat the star, says Hackman now “looks like he weighs about 160 pounds.”

He’s unrecognizable from the hardy, 6-foot-2, 190-pound sheriff he played in Clint Eastwood’s hit 1992 Western, Unforgiven, which won him his second Oscar.

“He’s lost a significant amount of weight in recent years so his clothes don’t fit right and just hang off him,” snitches the insider.
