A pause for a moment to remember actor Jack Larson, the greatest Jimmy Olsen of all.
He would have been 94 today.

On this date February 8, 1928 Jack Edward Larson was born in Los Angeles, California.
Larson was an American actor, librettist, screenwriter and producer, best known for his portrayal of photographer/cub reporter Jimmy Olsen on the TV series Adventures of Superman.
Larson was born in Los Angeles of Swedish and Russian descent, and reared in Pasadena. He graduated from Montebello High School in 1945, aged 17, and has at times claimed 1933 as his birth year.

I last saw Jack Larson in August 2014 during the Superman Celebration that included a plaque dedication in Tarzana, California and a luncheon in Studio City.
Larson passed away the following year and I added his memorial service at the James Bridges Theater at UCLA.
A heavenly happy birthday to Jack Larson.
