The Many Faces of Jimmy Olsen: As Shown by Jack Larson

By Thom Hamilton and Colete Morlock


SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT FROM JACK LARSON: Jack Larson wants all his fans to know how very much he appreciates all the letters sent to him and request for him to sign photos. However, because of his busy writing schedule and the fact he is "getting up in the years" he no longer has the energy or time to satisfy all the many request he recieves on a daily basis. He hopes all those who have sent in a request or were planning to do so will understand his feelings. He wants you to know he is indeed grateful for all your kind words and interest. 11/22/06-LK.

SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT FROM JACK LARSON: Jack has heard there are fans who may have or want to buy the episode of The Dick Van Dyke Show and/or the 1961 film The Teenage Millionaire because he is listed in the credits on various Internet film listings.

Jack wrote the libretto and narrates this wonderful opera. It is available at Tower Records outlets as well as Amazon.com. It has a terrific cover by one of the finest artists of our time, David Hockney.

For four years I moderated a George Reeves Yahoo! Group. It was clean and without problems. On October 24, 2007 Yahoo, without warning and without reason, closed down the group and my account. I lost all my contacts, important e-mail, and appointment dates. Even after repeated attempts to remedy the situtation, Yahoo would only say they have the right to shut down any account with or without reason.

See NY Post article of November 26, 2007

To the 500 members of that group, I can only apologize for Yahoo's rude behavior and invite you to join our new group at Google. To join, please click on the link below and follow the instructions. If you have any questions, please write to me at jamesnolt@gmail.com.

Photo of the Month
April
Sharp-eye fans have often spotted the flat underbelly of Superman during his flight across the skies of Metropolis, giving the look of laying on a flat glass table.
Thanks to Video-Capture methods you'll notice in the insert image an unusual portion of the flying rig seen below the cape and squaring off George's back more than the norm. Also notice in the bottom right-corner of the image there is stitching.
Vid-Caps taken from the WARNER Bros. DVD Box-set release.
