SYNOPSIS: Sometime in the early hours of June 16, 1959, George Reeves, the actor known to millions of kids as Superman, died of a gunshot to the head. The man of steel was now cold as ice. The L.A. police labeled the death a suicide. Some friends called it murder, and the disturbing evidence left behind a tantalizing mystery. Here, for the first time, is the truth about the dangerous double life and tragic death of Reeves: the real events of that Los Angeles night set amid the glamor, allure, and sinister core of Tinseltown in the 1950s. Hollywood Kryptonite is a riveting tale of jealousy, passion, and tragedy in the days when the Hollywood studio held absolute power. Sam Kashner and Nancy Schoenberger are the authors of A Talent for Genius: The Life and Times of Oscar Levant. Kashner was born in Brooklyn in 1954 and attended Columbia University's MFA program. His third book of poems, Don Quixote in America, is forthcoming from Hanging Loose Press. Schoenberger has taught creative and nonfiction writing at a number of universities and is the author of two award-winning books of poetry, including Girl on a White Porch, which received the Devins Award.
