Debut of the pianist who died with Gene Hackman

A devoted reader has sent us this clipping from the Honolulu Star Bulletin of Betsy Arakawa at her piano debut in 1971, playing one movement of Haydn’s G major concerto.

Betsy became the second wife of movie star Gene Hackman thirty years ago and died with him today. Police say there were no suspicious circumstances.
