- Jack Larson (speaking about George Reeves, who was contracted to direct and star in a seventh season of 26 episodes of The Adventures of Superman at the time of his death): I know George was depressed. I know life was a mess for him. I don't think the 26 episodes meant a lot to him. It meant a lot to me - I needed the money.
