Was hard to believe when I saw the news this morning, R.I.P.
Is there any place of refuge one can flee from this insanity | |

I was at the gym early this morning, and I was doing cardio, feeling good. I look up at the t.v. screen, and I'm like "geezz.."
This sucks. I'm glad he's no longer in pain. My prayers are with his wife and family. | |

I feel so awful! I too always thought one day he would make a miraculous recovery and start walking again...

RONNYRON said: RONNYRON I've collected/read SUPERMAN comic books since I was about 7 (I'm 34 now and I still do), I thought Chris would live 4ever... and I guess he will thanx to those 4 SUPERMAN movies. Rest in Peace KAL-EL. from CINCESCAPE.com Christopher Reeve, the actor who attained worldwide celebrity by portraying the iconic superhero SUPERMAN through four feature films in the 1970s and 80s, and who later became a shining ray of hope for millions more, has died. He was 52. Reeve was suffering from a severe systemic infection as a result of a pressure wound, a common complication for people who are paralysed. On Saturday, October 9, Reeve suffered a cardiac arrest and fell into a coma. He was admitted to Northern Westchester Hospital that day but never regained consciousness before passing away in the afternoon of October 10. Reeve was a young actor with a short list of theater and television credits before landing the role of the Man of Steel in Richard Donner's 1978 motion picture SUPERMAN. The film was a worldwide hit and cemented the blue-eyed, six-foot-four handsome man as a screen star. Reeve went on to star in three more SUPERMAN films as well as other films such as the fantasy time travel love story SOMEWHERE IN TIME, the suspense thriller DEATHTRAP, Merchant/Ivory's THE REMAINS OF THE DAY and John Carpenter's remake of VILLAGE OF THE DAMNED. In May of 1995 Reeve was competing in an equestrian contest and riding one of his horses when the animal suddenly stopped while approaching a fence, throwing Reeve to the ground. The accident damaged Reeve's spinal cord and vertebrae, leaving him paralysed from the neck down and relying on a respirator to breathe for him. Supported by the love of his family and tapping an inner reserve of strength, Reeve immediately put his mind to work on finding a way to regain his ability to walk. Undaunted by his injury, the actor became a public champion for paralysis victims and brought a spotlight to research and awareness for his affliction. He also returned to the world of film, launching a new career as a director and starring in a television remake of REAR WINDOW. He also returned to the franchise that first brought him stardom by accepting a role as a mentor to the next generation's Superman, appearing in two episodes of SMALLVILLE as scientist Dr. Virgil Swann. Reeve is survived by his wife Dana, his three children and his parents. His family has asked that, in lieu of flowers, any donations be made in Reeve's honor to the Christopher Reeve Paralysis Foundation. We here at CINESCAPE would like to pass along our condolensces to Reeve's family, and to express our thanks to someone that we never met but who nevertheless showed us, with or without a cape, how to fly. | |

Beautifully said. Christopher Reeve was an inspiration. Not only to people with the same affliction. My thoughts are with his family and friends. One of my favorite actors from when I was a Kid. I must have seen Superman II at least a dozen times when it was out in the theatres. I even enjoyed him in Deathtrap, Somewhere in time and the great Noises Off. R.I.P Christopher.

I feel bad that he didn't live to see stem cell research progress. Too bad his hopes were dashed by political forces. He had hope though

Whoever they have play the Man of Steel on any TV show or movie, for myself he'll always be the Superman all others are compared to. RIP, Chris. Not only can you now walk again, but you can fly, too. | |
