Hackman had 3 kids. Obviously, they didn’t give a damn or they would have been there. I lived 3k miles away from my folks, and when dad broke his femur, I dropped everything and was first on the spot. My 2 brothers live 6o and 300 miles away and were too lazy to help.

From his first wife. Who were adults when he met this wife. Even if she had taken care of them as toddlers, unless they had no contact with their biological mother, Hackman’s second wife wasn’t really their mother. With his wealth, Hackman could have had a whole tribe. If I were in his position, I would have either had biological kids with her or adopted babies for her to bring up as her own if infertility was a problem. With or without the age gap, you want someone to comfort your widow in her old age, since women tend to outlive men. Take care of the big things, and the little things, even if not fully addressed, will become insignificant with the passage of time.
