Gone But Not Forgotten

TW: mentions of suicide

Audrey and Louise kick off the Mysterious Men and Peculiar Deaths theme with Old Hollywood actor George Reeves. We discuss the films of his we've seen along with the 2006 movie Hollywoodland, starring Ben Affleck as Reeves. Other topics include our favorite character of Reeves' and why we were surprised by his range as an actor, how playing Superman impacted his career and what Hollywoodland got wrong about his feelings towards the role, complicated figures in Reeves' life such as Toni Mannix and Leonore Lemmon (and thoughts on the portrayals of them in the film), characters we would like to have seen George play, and much more.

In today’s episode, I will be talking about the 80s/90s film icon, River Phoenix. He died at the mere age of 23, but lived a long and full life, which is what he should be remembered for. I'll be covering topics like his tumultuous childhood, all of the films he starred in, his band Aleka's Attic, the romantic and familial relationships he had, and the numerous roles he could have played.
