The story of Christopher Reeve’s life is one that is almost impossible to imagine — from a wildly successful Hollywood career, to the horror of life-threatening injury; Reeve experienced both. Thus, not only is he known as a superhero in the Superman films, but he is also regarded as a superhero to many in real life.
Reeve was born on 25 September,1952 in New York — the son of Franklin Reeve, a teacher and novelist, and Barbara Pitney, a journalist. He found his passion in acting and starred in his first school play at the age of eight. Although he believed he would only ever act on stage, Reeve tried out for, and was eventually given the lead role in a Superman film.
Reeve starred in four Superman films from 1978 to 1987. He realised that his roles in these films had given him the opportunity to be a real-life superman, and he soon gained a
reputation for raising awareness for good causes. He visited sick children in hospitals and worked with organisations such as Save the Children, speaking out about health, education
and child protection to help those most in need.
