    Career

    Christopher Reeve’s acting journey began on the stage. He honed his craft in theater, including a notable performance in the Broadway play “A Matter of Gravity” alongside Katharine Hepburn. Reeve skyrocketed to fame as Superman in the 1978 film. His portrayal also captured the essence of the beloved superhero, blending strength, vulnerability, and charisma.

    The success of “Superman” led to sequels, where Reeve continued to embody the Man of Steel. Despite being closely associated with Superman, Reeve showcased his versatility:  “Somewhere in Time”: A romantic drama where he played a time-traveling playwright. “Street Smart”: A gritty thriller where he portrayed a journalist entangled with a dangerous subject. “The Bostonians”: A period drama based on Henry James’s novel. His ability to transition between genres demonstrated his depth as an actor. In 1995, Reeve’s life changed dramatically after a horse-riding accident left him paralyzed. Undeterred, he directed TV movies, including “In the Gloaming,” and acted in the remake of Alfred Hitchcock’s “Rear Window.”

      • Notable films include “Superman,” “Superman II,” “The Bostonians,” “Street Smart,” and also “The Remains of the Day.”
      • He continued creative work even after his accident, directing “In the Gloaming” and acting in the TV remake of “Rear Window”.
