<p>SANTA FE, N.M. (AP) — An auction house plans to sell off a variety of actor Gene Hackman's possessions in November, including Golden Globe statues, a wristwatch and paintings he collected and created himself.</p>

<p>Hackman died at age 95 at his home in Santa Fe, New Mexico, after transitioning from an Oscar-winning career in film to a life in retirement of painting, writing novels and collecting.</p>

<p>Auction items include a still-life painting of a Japanese vase by Hackman and Golden Globe awards from roles in "Unforgiven" and "The Royal Tenenbaums." There are annotated books from Hackman's library, scripts, posters, movie memorabilia — and high-brow art including a bronze statue by Auguste Rodin and a 1957 oil painting from modernist Milton Avery.</p>

<p>Anna Hicks of Bonhams international auction house said the sales "offer an intimate portrait of Hackman's private world."</p>

<p>Listings start as low as $100 for Hackman's everyman Winmau dart board or $600 for a shot at his Seiko diver's wristwatch.</p>

<p>The catalog includes a likeness of Hackman from portrait artist Everett Raymond Kinstler, who painted U.S. presidents and drew for comic books.</p>

<p>Hackman and his wife, Betsy Arakawa, were found dead inside their home on Feb. 26 — sending shock waves through a high-desert city refuge for famous actors and authors seeking to escape the spotlight. Authorities determined that Hackman died of heart disease with complications from Alzheimer's disease about a week after Arakawa, 65, died of hantavirus pulmonary syndrome, a rare but potentially fatal disease spread by the droppings of infected rodents.</p>

<p>Hackman made his film debut in 1961's "Mad Dog Coll" and went on to appear in a range of movie roles, including as "Superman" villain Lex Luthor and as a basketball coach finding redemption in the sentimental favorite "Hoosiers." He was a five-time Oscar nominee who won best actor in a leading role for "The French Connection" in 1972 and best actor in a supporting role for "Unforgiven" two decades later.</p>

<p>He retired from acting in the early 2000s.</p>
