In the beginning of sixties Hackman and Hoffman relocated to New York there they were joined by the third “loser” and future winner of Oscar award –Robert Duvall. That is how the three of them began looking for a job on Broadway stage. That was the time when Gene met Warren Bitty, who saw the hidden talent in him and invited Gene to perform a supporting role in his new movie project “Bonnie and Clyde”. For the role in this movie Hackman was nominated with an Oscar. After such a breakthrough he was not feeling lack of invitations to work at all, but those were mostly supporting roles.
