Did anyone else here watch the A&E special last night, "Look Up in the Sky! The
Amazing Story of Superman." It was a pretty cool retrospective and touched
on all the many incarnations of the character in comics, radio, cartoons, on
Broadway, in television and in motion pictures. There were also some clips from
the new film "Superman Returns." I noticed that Jack Larson (TV's Jimmy Olsen
in the 1950s series THE ADVENTURES OF SUPERMAN) has a brief cameo. Larson
also talked, in an interview, about the late George Reeves. He seems to be one
of the few who still believes the actor committed suicide. On other programs,
I have heard his co-star Noel ("Lois Lane") Neill say that she believes Reeves
was murdered (as do a lot of other people). Like other unsolved Hollywood
mysteries, we will probably never know for sure.
