Margot Kidder (1948-2018)
The actress Margot Kidder died on May 14th, 2018, at age 69. She was notable for portraying Lois Lane in the original "Superman" film series. We always remember her as the one and only actress capable of playing this sassy female character.
In her 20s, she started her acting career in television before venturing into cinematic roles. In 1978, she became famous as the ace reporter of the Daily Planet in "Superman" opposite Christopher Reeve. Kidder and Reeve were largely unknown as these two leading characters. According to what she said in a 2004 interview, Kidder and Reeve were like siblings and displayed affection and hostility for each other. Still, it would have been more interesting for these two actors to have wed than the on-screen chemistry that they've had. It would have surprised all the moviegoers. She reprises the role in three more movies before ending with "Superman IV: The Quest for Peace". Other of her film roles include "Sisters", "The Great Waldo Pepper", "The Amityville Horror", "Trenchcoat", "Heartaches", etc.

Over the years, Margot has appeared on television for minor roles, guest appearances and voice-overs in shows including "Captain Planet", Phantom 2040", "Smallville", and "The Haunted Hour". Unfortunately, she had some troubling experiences, including her mental breakdown in 1996, which affected her acting career, as it was slowly declining. It's a cruel world to miss such an actress despite her shortcomings. She is good at portraying some strong-willed female characters. We will deeply miss her, and no other actress could play Lois Lane better than Margot can.
