George Reeves

However, some friends and associates disputed this explanation, and fans have speculated in the years since as to whether his death was actually a murder, and if so, at whose hand, or whether he faked his own death and disappeared. He is also an accomplished banjo player. An official inquiry concluded that the death was suicide. He has since starred in the long-running television comedy series Just Shoot Me as the head of the wacky fashion and style magazine "Blush". Shortly thereafter, a shot rang out, and he was found dead in his bedroom with a gunshot wound to the head. He was relatively inactive in the 1980s, but bounced back as the sleazy father of Kirstie Alley's baby in Look Who's Talking, and in the 1993 sequel Look Who's Talking Now, and as the left-wing comedy writer in For the Boys (1991). In the early morning hours of June 16, 1959, three days before a planned wedding to Lenore Lemmon, he went to bed after a long night with guests. Segal was so appealing that too often he was asked to carry a film on his charm alone, especially in the 1970s.

During World War II, Reeves enlisted in the United States Army Air Corps and appeared in war training films. He played an inept burglar in the 1972 comedy The Hot Rock with Robert Redford, a comically unfaithful husband in A Touch of Class and a midlife crisis victim in Blume in Love. He co-starred with Jane Fonda as suburbanite-turned-bank-robbers in Fun With Dick and Jane, and starred as a faux gourmet in Who Is Killing the Great Chefs of Europe?. Besides playing Superman on TV, he also had minor roles in a number of movies, including Gone With the Wind, and From Here to Eternity. Valentine's Day Massacre, a perplexed police detective Mo Brummel in No Way to Treat a Lady, a bookworm in The Owl and the Pussycat, and in a pair of impressive dramatic performances, a man laying waste to his marriage in Loving and a hairdresser turned junkie in Born to Win. George Bessolo Reeves (born George Keefer Brewer) (January 6, 1914–June 16, 1959) was an American actor, best known for playing the role of Superman on television in the 1950s. He followed with top performances as Nick in Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf? (for which he was Oscar-nominated), a Cagneyesque gangster in The St. in King Rat.
