Margot Kidder (1948-2018)
Actress Margot Kidder died on May 14, 2018, at age 69. She was best known for portraying Lois Lane in the original "Superman" film series. We always remember her as the one and only actress who can play this sassy character.
In her 20s, she began her acting career on television before moving into film roles. In 1978, she became famous as the Daily Planet's ace reporter in "Superman," opposite Christopher Reeve. Kidder and Reeve were largely unknown as the two leads. In a 2004 interview, Kidder described her relationship with Reeve as sibling-like, showing both affection and hostility. Still, it would have been more interesting for these two actors to have wed than to have the on-screen chemistry 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 film roles include "Sisters," "The Great Waldo Pepper," "The Amityville Horror," "Trenchcoat," and "Heartaches," among others.

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 an actress like her, despite her shortcomings. She excels at portraying strong-willed female characters. We will miss her deeply, and no other actress could play Lois Lane as well as Margot.
