At my 10 year high school reunion there was a classmate who had played AAA baseball. By the reunion he was out of the game, married and at 28-working a day job. I asked him if he ever got close to the majors? He said no, but if you wanted to make it in our organization, "the best bet was to room with me."
Reeves must have felt like that. Among the following:
-Danced for Vivian Leigh
-Danced with Merle Oberon
-Got yelled at by Pat O'Brien
-Got beat up by James Cagney
-Love interest of Claudette Colbert
-Detective investigating Anne Baxter
-Shared gossip with Burt Lancaster
Throw in scenes with Joseph Cotten and Frank Sinatra yet he never made it.
NOW, NOTHING JUSTIFIES SUICIDE, but seems like a career poorly managed.

inherentlyYours, I know this is a month later but:
HOW DO YOU KNOW? Don't run your mouth about things you know not of.
You still with us?

kevin; It's been 57 yrs. Cops and detectives (dept.) haven't talked about it. The coroner (ofc.) never talked. His girlfriend, friends, neighbors, associates, never talked. It's okay to throw around speculation! Esp. at this point!
