Yes, I remember him a little bit as Superman. I remember that he did a guest spot as Superman on the "I Love Lucy" show that was hilarious. What I remember about him most was the controversy regarding his death. Some thought he was murdered by a hit man, hired by the husband of a woman with whom he had an affair with for several years. However, most a agree now it was and declared a suicide. He had been depressed and bitter regarding his career for a long time. He had aspirations of being a "leading man" in films and felt that television was beneath him. He detested playing the role of Superman, but of course needed the money. Kind of a sad story really. Good question by the way!

I saw Reeves as Superman as a kid, well before the first Superman movie with Chris Reeve came out. Back then, I thought he looked a little old for the part, and always wondered why he hardly ever used super-powers in the show. :) Still, he was cooler than the cartoon version of Superman on Super-Friends! It wasn't until years later that I heard of the strange events related to his death. Hopefully one day the truth will be known.

From the 2d police arrived, the case substitute into taken care of as suicide as all of the visitors concluded there ought to be no different rationalization.

Many problems nonetheless stick to the suicide concept, consisting of bullet holes got here upon in the mattress room partitions and with the aid of the lounge (the place the visitors have been), bullet casing got here upon below Reeves' physique, the gun left between his legs, police no longer being called for 30-40 5 minutes after the loss of existence and the incontrovertible fact that in simple terms approximately no guy or woman who knew Reeves can incredibly deliver themselves to have self assurance that he killed himself. some make an argument for Reeves having been the objective of a "hit" with the aid of having spurned a protracted-time lover with mob connections, additionally claiming that a prior vehicle twist of destiny substitute into additionally an tried hit.

I think he was a great superman for that time period. His tragic suicide was sad. The biography channel aired a program about George Reeves a couple of weeks ago. Maybe check out their website and see if you can view it or get more information.

Yes, I remember him, and his death was like hush-hush. Very weird. He was okay but not as impressive as Christopher Reeve or the new superman. Just a good show to watch on TV or saturday morning matinees. Yep, I am that old.

Don't you mean Christopher Reeves? Hmm...I'm pretty darn sure that it's Christopher Reeves. And he fell of a horse and lived for years later even though he was paralized, so it wasn't sudden. But who knows, I could be talking about the wrong person. But i'm pretty sure it's Christopher Reeves.
