#GeorgeReeves (1914–1959) was #BornOnThisDay.
His #Superman was the definitive portrayal of the character for a generation — and remains beloved today.

“I get asked why I’m masking a smile so much [on #AdventuresOfSuperman]. Jimmy’s in deadly peril, and I’m laughing! It’s because #GeorgeReeves would say something funny just before he broke through the wall….He called himself ’Superboo’.”
#NoelNeill (1920-2016) — the first actress to play #LoisLane on screen — was #BornOnThisDay.

You know you are old when #Retro refers to #movies, #gaming, #movies, and other #MassMedia that doesn't go back to your young adult life, let alone to your early #childhood. 😂 🥴 #GeorgeReeves was my #TV #Superman in #BlackandWhite #RockyandBullwinkle was a new show. #LinCarter's anthologies opened the door to #FantasyLiterature and #JackKirby's #NewGods demonstrated how #comics could create new #Mythology. #Mythopoeic #Art #Literature #MassMediaLiteracy
