Thus ends one of the most tragic tales to ever come out of Hollywood.
I will always remember Reeve as a good Superman, a great Clark Kent, and a lonely playwright who falls in love with a portrait of a early 20th Century actress in the greatest chick flick ever - Somewhere in Time. I will also remember him as a brave man who dreamed of someday walking again. What an inspiration to all of us!
Godspeed, Christopher Reeve.

It would seem quite evil to post a link to that maddox article here...
Sorry Mr. Reeve.

Indeed. Christopher Reeve was the definitive Superman back in the day, and he seemed to show the same spirit with regard to his injury.

Christopher Reeve earned immortality not only through his enduring work in film and lately television but in the valiant way he faced his uncertain future. He will be missed by us all.

It's sad to see one of the good guys go.
Reeve always came off as a sincere, warm guy, so that makes him the most human Superman in my eyes. It was too bad his intelligence and versatility as an actor was overlooked because he was typecast as Superman.
I've also watched him in Deathtrap, The Remains of the Day, and The Great Escape II: The Untold Story, which I thought was a very good TV sequel to the original story.
You leave us fond movie memories, Mr. Reeve. Farewell. Up, up and away...

Goodbye to an inspiration who never let his condition get the better of him!
God give him welcome - another wonderful human being is coming to you.

Although I was never a big fan of Christopher Reeve the actor, as a human......WOW! He truly was a Super Man.
May he RIP

Yes, he always struck me as someone who had serious amounts of class.

I always said he would. If only he had been given more time!

My mom got in a car wreck my senior year of high school ('95). She was paralyzed from the neck down. A few pounds of some high tech alloy, a great team of surgeons, and several grueling months of physical therapy later she was walking again. One of the things that inspired her was Reeves.

I was stunned when Foul announced this in chat the other night. I had no idea that he was in danger. dlb's post says it all.
Great story, Syl! Well done, Mom!!!

Everything all you guys said ....ditto....
Chris was a wonderful guy and it made me so sad. I played my Somewhere In Time soundtrack and cried. If there IS "somewhere" after all this, then Chris is in a good place, and he's smiling, walking, and happy.

Heh, thanks, guys. It had a pretty big impact on my life, but the point I wanted to make was that the man was an inspiration to many, and it's sad to see him go.
