Before becoming The Man of Steel, Reeves was born George Keefer Brewer in Woolstock, Iowa. His big break came when he was cast as Stuart Tarleton in Gone with the Wind. As one of the Tarleton Twins, Reeves became a familiar face for a lot of viewers. However, that was just a minor role in the orbit of larger stars. Warner Bros. signed him to a contract and that led to the name change. Sadly, he passed away on June 16, 1959 from a gunshot wound. Still, for a lot of people, he was their first entry point to Superman.
