In the early 60's I grew up watching Superman. He brought both characters to life. That's the roles of Superman and Clark Kent. Just like the deaths of JFK, Marilyn Monroe, Jim Morrison, and Bruce Lee we'll never know the truth about George Reeves death. It was spectacular the way Superman took off running and jumped in the air in order to fly. He certainly looks like the true man of steel. He paved the way for other actors to play the roles of other Superheroes whether DC or Marvel.

The suicide due to career frustration theory is similar to Western actor Pete Duel, of Alias Smith and Jones, who took his life around New Years 1972 at 32. Talented, successful, with a good contract to do the show, but depressed at being stuck doing TV being a serious actor who felt he was cut out for more.

It was said that after "From here to Eterniry" George Reeves had a substanchel role but was cut short drastucly except for one scene needed for the movie the reason the audicence kept shouting "Superman" which was a distaster for George it was said that ended his movie carrere, but for the benefit of those who may not know this, Geoege Revves was cast in the movie "WestWard ho the Wagons" in 1956 when Reeves was still shooting Superman he wore a beard which I think the reason was he didnt want audielcenses shouting Superman again this novie was produced by Walt Disney Producers when Disney use to be good.

However he'll always be remembered for this role which will keep his memory alive even 64 years after his demise. Yes, I believe he may have met with foul play.

As a kid growing up in the 60's we often saw Superman in reruns. To me he was a true down to earth Superman. You really felt like he was the real thing! I think he made the wrong friends and choices.

My feeling is George like several others back in those days didn't die of suicide he had everything going for him.

I was born in July 1996 in Cleveland. I need to tell people about this dream. About 10 years ago, Mr. Reeves came to me in a dream. ( obviously reruns of his show, I have seen)! He said quote: I knew I was going to die, and in death become more famous, endqoute.Since I know of him ,he was already ridiculously famous. Bur, this is what he told me.

My deceased brother came to my wife with a message for me and she described, unprompted, the outfit I'd said after his calling hours he'd rather have been buried in. This was six years before I met her and only my parents and myself were in the room. She picked him out in a photo array in that same outfit. I'd never said anything to her until I asked a couple days later what he was wearing and she described the same clothes. That's when I told her about my observation nine years earlier. She picked out his voice without seeing anything but feet in a home video and it was the first time in over 11 years I'd heard his voice. She only knew him via Dreamwalking because we met six years after he died and I'd never shared details she told me about him.

Yes. At the inception of Superman, he could not fly. That's why "leap tall buildings" was used, and it stuck even after flying became a power. But when introduced in the comics in 1938, he could only leap - an eighth of a mile. It wasn't until the Fleisher Studios short film that he could fly because that was easier for them to portray than leaping.

Good info. But I suggest you find a better robot voice - or at least try to correct the glaring cadence errors. "Pasadena............................California."

He was a good looking man, shame he passed away young.

Producers get these issues all wrong. To reject an actor because they are universally popular in one role is a testament to their skill as an actor; not a reason to say they shouldn't take on any other character. Elizabeth Taylor, for instance, was tremendously popular in 'Cleopatra' yet no one said she couldn't do, '...Virginia Woolf' because she was so good as Cleopatra. It doesn't make any sense. It just proves that good actors have a wide range of skills. This all added to the depressing story of a man totally trapped by 'type, or character-casting'. George was not an old man; he had possibly decades of successful acting, in other parts, in front of him but 'Superman'; and crazy producers, drove him into increased alcohol intake and deep depression. I believe Mr Reeves took his own life at a weak, intoxicated moment where he must have been convinced that that his entire career was over. When acting is all you can do that must be a crushing realisation. Jack Larson, (Jimmy Olsen in 'Superman') said, several years ago, he decided to walk away from acting because he didn't want to end up in the same place that George did. A Casting Director hired Jack for a film by a big time Hollywood producer. When that producer discovered Jack Larson had been hired, he had a face-to face with Jack and told him he just couldn't be in his movie because, "You are Jimmy Olsen...". By the way, the terrible 'robot narration' in this video is almost as tragic as Reeves's death; it's the worst fake voice-over I've ever heard. The memory of George Reeves deserved much better treatment than that. Also, after reading the comments on this video, I'm convinced that so many people, with ordinary Anglo-Saxon names, which indicate English is their first language; have no clue how to write understandable sentences and have the spelling skills of young children. This, I've noticed, is widespread over KZread and social media. It makes one wonder if the teaching of correct English has suddenly ceased to exist. In any case, George Reeves, despite international popularity, had a terrible professional career and I've always felt extremely sorry for a good man and a great actor who suffered terribly through absolutely no fault of his own. RIP George; you were way too good for early American TV which used up actors and spit them out. Bill H. (Retired film and TV critic/reviewer).

Aging fast, gaining weight, with thinning , graying hair, he may have sought a fast way out of his downward spiral, by taking his own life! R.I.P.!

this would have been a great documentary if it were NOT for the computer generated narrator. that sucked.

There are so many factors that contribute to a person’s self image. If it was a suicide, one can only wonder what mixture of emotions created such volatility in Reeves that he would take his own life. Ostensibly, he was on the path to greater fame with Superman, but if he had begun to privately detest the role because of the entrapment, is it possible that greater Superman fame meant a further descent into a private hell? I was just 4 years old when he died, and I wasn’t aware of the crime drama so much, but I loved watching the show. Oh yeah. Even as a very young kid I watched it.
