Born George Besselo, he never managed to rise above supporting leading man. He obtained the part of Superman for television in the 1950's which was a big hit. Unfortunately it was also a part which he could not break away from, and was even buried in his Superman costume.
His death, brought in as suicide, is shrouded in mystery with his family refusing to believe that he took his own life. There have been books and television programmes trying to account for his death, looking at other scenario's. No doubt the debates will still continue.
Giving a party at his home on the 16th of June 1959, he came downstairs in a white bathrobe, then returned to his room. Shortly after gunshots were heard and George Reeves was found dead. He had been shot in the head. The family believed that his mistress knew more than she was telling.
He now haunts his former home where he died. Some nights there have been the sounds of a ghostly party, as well as gunshots which have brought the police to investigate. His spirit also admonished a 10-year-old girl for trespassing. There have been reported sightings of him in his Superman costume as well as the bathrobe he was wearing when he died.
