Ron Hendren (with Humphrey Bogart impressionist Robert Sacchi) investigates the mysterious 1959 death of TV's Superman, George Reeves on Entertainment Tonight, circa 1982. (SINCERE APOLOGIES FOR THE JITTERY VIDEO.)
The person who killed George Reeves had to be the number 1 person who most benefitted from his death. Toni got EVERYTHING from the will upon Reeve's death. Why is this a mystery? This is the easiest to solve mystery; most obvious reason: Toni killed him, or her husband killed him so that Toni can get his stuff from the will. Reeves was contracted for more new episodes of Superman (plus remember even then they could do color Superman movies) he was getting married, etc.
just because your life may look glamarous or awesome to others, dosen't mean you truly respect it. i wouldn't say that he commited suicide, i wouldn't say that it wasn't. People sometimes focus on the bad aspects of their life and don't realize how much or lucky they are/have. He could have felt like shit and no one could have known.
George was about to be married to a beautiful lady (Lemmon), and was getting a nice raise for a renewal of his Superman series. There is no way he committed suicide! Get a clue! His jilted lover Toni Mannix paid for so much of his stuff, and was jealous that he was getting married and putting Lenore in his will instead of Toni. When George died Toni got everything from his will. Toni probably told Ed Mannix George was just a gay friend, or something. Ed woke up when George engaged Lenore.
@cdddraftsman George Reeves was not unable to find work, he did not have mental issues. He was going to star in and direct another season of The Adventures of Superman in 1959. Scripts for a Fall 59 season were being prepared in May. Pierre Watkin had been hired to play Perry White's brother while Mr. White was on an extended vacation since John Hamilton had actually died of a heart attack in October '58. George was also going to direct a movie called Return to Earth starring Phyllis Coates.
Asswhole u wrong he never tried to comit suicide!this was mannix's work.period.no conspiracy theories,rusian rulet,accidents.period.bottom line is he n berns deserve new death certificate wher it says death by gunshot only. That ho monroe killd herself but cuz she was so popular they put on death certificate accidental suicide.what da fuk is accidental?shame on em!
