On June 16, 1959, George Reeves, who was the first to make the superhero an icon when he played the titular role in the inaugural TV series, was found dead in his bedroom.
article frankly titled “No Work for Superman.” When asked why he took the role, he said simply, “I was hungry.” But after six years, he was having a hard time pushing his career forward. “The producers wouldn’t give me a job. They’d take one look at me and say it was impossible.”
Some after his death said it was a profound depression and frustration with his career that led to the night in question. But his business manager and mother, among others, said that while it was true he was disappointed in the way things were going, his feelings weren’t strong enough to explain a suicide.
As far as Reeves was concerned, one has to wonder if he had any regrets. While he and Lemmon were supposed to get married only a few days after his death, Lemmon allegedly had soured on him after she realized the older Superman wasn’t quite the loaded Hollywood player she thought he was. Their relationship was full of booze and bickering.
Forty-five minutes later, the police were called. It may have seemed like an open and shut case: Man found upstairs, gun on the floor, a single bullet wound in his head. Witnesses in the house who behaved a little oddly but heard the whole thing.
