Thanks for posting this. Natividad was my uncle [my dad's brother] and he always said it was not a suicide. George Reeves was going to get married and had a new project coming up.
Nick, maybe you can help me with something. I've been trying to get in touch with Al and Viginia but haven't heard anything from them since the hurricane last year. If you have any information, you can reach me at JAMESNOLT@GMAIL.COM
Wonderful. The Vacio family was the best. So eye opening. The real story by Al Vacio on youtube. in Sarasota. Thank u for these photos Jim. Clark Kent on bass.Love Noel's dress!
What a wonderful find. I remember Nati being George Reeves' friend from reading Gary Grossman's book. I wonder if there is any record of Mr. Vacio words after George died. He must have been heartbroken.
Nati and I spoke on the phone a few times in the 90s, and in 1992 he sent me a note note that read in part: Jim, a big wonderful thank-you for The Adventures Continue. It brought excellent memories of George. Everyone spoke of George as a loving humanitarian... as, quote "Man's humanity to man." And everyone that [knew] him became his brother and sister. Thanks for keeping Remembrance of Goerge.
Actually, that book reported that the “suicide” verdict was rubbish, according to Vacio and Phyllis Coates. They both said that George had money and work on the horizon.
Hey Jim Steve in SS. I know they sang some songs together and it must have been quite a Duo. I don't mean a dynamic one or do I. I just saw a clip I don't know if it was from you. It was George singing a song in a western. Looks like a Republic cowboy picture. Something about ride night riders and ride. I don't remember the words. Boy did he sound good. Hope your well. By the way I think Phyllis Coates is still with us. Great Caesars ghost!
Steve... George sings "Amigo, We Go Riding Tonight." The clip is available here on RU-vid. Search for "George Reeves singing." And yes, Phyllis is still with us (as of Dec 12, 2022). She will turn 96 in January, 2023.
@@jimnolt-TAC Ha ha, very funny - it's true, though. I believe that that's how many "live" performers (singers, comedians, etc.) obtained repeat work in those days. Two things, though, 1) This is the first instance that I have heard the George played a musical instrument - the bass. 2) Where might I find this episode so that I can watch it, I'm intrigued to see how this specific episode ended. Many thanks and take care.
