Annette O’Toole Remembers Christopher Reeve

Thursday 14 October 2004, by xanderbnd

Annette O’Toole has been associated with the world of Superman for over twenty years now, having starred alongside the late Christopher Reeve in the 1983 film Superman III, as Lana to his Clark Kent.

This long association, having worked with Christopher Reeve in the past and now playing the mother of Clark Kent in Smallville, made it our privilege and pleasure to share with you her thoughts of the late actor, who died on Sunday. Here is what she had to say:

"What can you say about such a man as Christopher Reeve? He embodied all the best that a human being can hope to be. To continue life in the face of such adversity and to make things BETTER for other people and to continue to contribute so much is a miracle. He was so kind and generous and funny. He was a prince. His presence in our lifetime has given us all an example of how to live our lives. I am so grateful I knew him. And while I am so sorry for the loss his family must now endure, to me he will always be a constant source of comfort and hope and will remain up in the stratosphere where he has always been in my eyes."
