I remember those black-and-white television days. Sad news. We are all growing old. Hope it was a peaceful exit. I believe that Superman is George Reeves in this picture. He had trouble getting work after his role - his image was more powerful than his abilities, and consequently, no one would cast him in a different light. I believe - could be wrong - he ended his life over that. Some think differently that he was murdered, but the official cause of death was ruled suicide.
Yes, that is George Reeves. There was a movie about him called Hollywoodland in which he was played by Ben Affleck. In the end, since his fate was never confirmed, the movie leaves it open on whether it was a suicide or murder.
