Is that Superman George Reeves?

 

Yep, here's the sordid story!
The woman is Toni Maddox-
" Shortly after her marriage to Eddie Mannix in 1951 and shortly before the launch of Reeves as the star of the successful television series Adventures of Superman, Mannix met and began an affair with Reeves, with the acquiescence of her husband, according to Reeves' co-stars Noel Neill and Jack Larson.[The affair was ended by Reeves in 1959. His death by gunshot wound to the head five months later was officially ruled a suicide, although questions have been raised about the circumstances under which he died. Kashner and Schoenberger's partially fictionalized biography Hollywood Kryptonite states as unsourced fact that Toni, via her husband Eddie's criminal connections, ordered Reeves murdered."
