September 21, 2015: Jack Larson Dies - Aged 87

Jack Larson It is with great sadness that I report that Jack Larson, best known for playing Jimmy Olsen in the 1950s "Adventures of Superman" TV series, has passed away, aged 87.

Jack Larson, who was also a playwright and librettist, died Sunday at his home in Brentwood, California. The New York Times reports that the death was confirmed by Alan Howard, a longtime friend.

I was lucky enough to have met Jack ten years ago when he came to Sydney to film his role in "Superman Returns". We chatted for hours about his career, George Reeves, Superman and many other things, over a nice Chinese meal at a Restaurant on Sydney Harbour. He was very funny and entertaining. A true gentleman.

He will be sadly missed.
