Superman was my hero since I was a small child.
Christopher Reeve's role in Superman One was great. The whole movie was so entertaining.
Then, that horrible accident that paralyzed him from the neck down. Imagine this happening to "the man of steel", fiction or not!
The Superman that was on TV when I was a small child was played by George Reeves.
I couldn't understand what was happening, but was fascinated by this man who could fly.
His death at age 45 from a gunshot remains a controversial subject; the official finding was suicide, but some believe that he was murdered or the victim of an accidental shooting .
Strange how two men with such similar surnames, each playing the role of Superman suffered such tragedies in real life.
