Margot Kidder - Fact Sheet

Profession: Actress

She is best known for her role as Lois Lane in the 1978 movie Superman and its sequels. Kidder brought more depth to the role than previous actresses had done, portraying Lane as an ambitious and headstrong, yet vulnerable and emotionally lonely woman trying to make it in a man's world. After she publicly expressed her disgust to the producers, Alexander Salkind and Ilya Salkind, over the firing of Richard Donner from 1980's Superman II, her role in 1983's Superman III consisted of less than 5 minutes of footage. Her presence was sorely missed by fans and moviegoers, and her role in 1987's Superman IV: The Quest For Peace was much more substantial. Aside from the Superman franchise, Kidder has also starred in The Amityville Horror, Willie and Phil, The Great Waldo Pepper, and Black Christmas. She has made uncredited cameo appearances in Maverick and Delirious. In 1983, Kidder produced and starred (as Eliza Doolittle) in the TV version of Pygmalion with Peter O'Toole. She has also done extensive stage work, including The Vagina Monologues. In 2005 Kidder briefly returned to the Superman franchise in two episodes of the television program Smallville as Dr. Bridgette Crosby, an emissary of Dr. Swann (played by her Superman co-star Christopher Reeve).
