Christopher Reeve was born on September 25, 1952, in New York City, USA. He was a famous American actor, director, producer and writer.

Biography and Career :

He made his debut with a small part in "Gray Lady Dawn" (1977). Still, the handsome actor will stay forever in our mind as the image of "The Man of Steel" or "Superman".
"Superman" was the film that made Christopher Reeve one of the most famous actors in Hollywood. To get the main part of that film, he had to defeat great names of the big screen of all the times, such as: Robert Redford, Sylvester Stallone and Clint Eastwood. After starring in Richard Donnol's super-movie, he wrote the script for Superman IV in 1987. In the middle of the 90's, Christopher Reeve's agenda was very busy: movie, television and theatre.


All of the sudden, everything fell apart. The star fell down while riding a horse. He got completely paralyzed. After a long period of suffering, he died in 2004.

Trivia :

- He was posthumously awarded an honorary degree at Stony Brook University's commencement on May 20, 2005.
- His wife Dana Reeve died of lung cancer on March 6, 2006. She was a non-smoker.
- Friends and family of the late actor gathered on October 29, 2004 at his alma mater, the famed Julliard School in New York, to pay tribute to him.
- He was the speaker at the 2004 Middlebury College commencement.

Quotes :

- "A hero is an ordinary individual who finds the strength to persevere and endure in spite of overwhelming obstacles."

- "So many of our DREAMS at first seem Impossible, then they seem Improbable, and then when we Summon the Will, they soon become Inevitable."

- "At first, dreams seem impossible, then improbable, and eventually inevitable."

- "Don't give up. Don't lose hope. Don't sell out."
