Best known for playing the "Man of Steel" on film and on television, George Reeves
(1914-1959), born George Bessolo, made his film debut in 1939. Reeves played Stuart
Tarleton, one of the Scarlett O'Hara's hopeful beaus, in David O. Selznick's Civil War epic,
Gone With the Wind. Making an excellent impression in that role, in 1940, Reeves was cast
in 17 films, including Knute Rockne, All American, Virginia City, The Fighting 69th, 'Til We
Meet Again, Pony Express Days and Meet the Fleet. Shown with his girlfriend, played by Jan
Clayton, and her unwelcoming father (Grant Mitchell), Father is a Prince (1940). Reeves'
career took a fateful turn when he was cast as Superman/Clark Kent in 1951's
Superman and the Mole Men, a role he reprised in the 1953-1957 television series.
Reeves' death by gunshot wound on June 16, 1959, was officially ruled a suicide, but
suspicions of murder have persisted. Accompanied by PSA/DNA LOA.
