George Brewer(Biological father's name)Bessolo(StepFather's name)
Reeves(ScreenName), the world's first TV Superman - a wannabe leading
man ala Gable,Bogart,et al, relegated to comicbook hero status
via vagaries of circumstance - was essentially a "momma's boy",
dominated his entire 45 years on Planet Earth by several domineering
woman, starting with Momma Helen, then Toni Mannix and lastly, Leonore
Lemmon.
Reeves died under controversial circumstances. These issues were
raised and explored by authors Sam Kashner and Nancy Schoenberger in
their excellent 1994 book, "Hollywood Kryptonite: The Bulldog, the
Lady and the Death of Superman". However, AH leans heavily toward
agreeing with Jack Larson, Clark Kent's junior sidekick in the TV
series, that Reeves death was suicide and not homicide, contrary to
Kashner's and Schoenberger's conclusions.
The book is a scrumptious read for any Reeves fan, regardless of
what one thinks about whether or not foul play was involved in his death. - AH
