Margot Kidder Movies

Back when Superman made her a household name……I had such a crush on her.   In many ways WoC looks a lot like her…..which makes me a lucky man.  Rest in Peace, Margot Kidder. – May 14th, 2018 – Cogerson

Margaret Ruth Kidder (October 17, 1948 – May 13, 2018) professionally known as Margot Kidder, was a Canadian American actress and activist. She rose to fame in 1978 for her role as Lois Lane in the Superman film series, alongside Christopher Reeve. Kidder began her career in the 1960s appearing in low-budget Canadian films and television series, before landing a lead role in Quackser Fortune Has a Cousin in the Bronx (1970).

She then appeared playing twins in Brian De Palma’s cult thriller Sisters (1973); in the slasher film Black Christmas (1974); and the drama The Great Waldo Pepper (1975), opposite Robert Redford. Her performance as Kathy Lutz in the blockbuster horror film The Amityville Horror (1979) gained her further mainstream exposure.

After a highly publicized manic episode and nervous breakdown in 1996, Kidder’s career began to slow. By the 2000s, however, she had maintained steady work in independent films as well as television, with guest-starring roles on Smallville, Brothers & Sisters, and The L Word. In 2015, she won an Emmy Award for her performance on the children’s television series R.L. Stine’s The Haunting Hour. She also acted in theatrical productions, most notably appearing on Broadway in a 2002 production of The Vagina Monologues. – Wikipedia

In 2005, Kidder became a naturalized U.S. citizen. In later years, Kidder became an outspoken political, environmental, and anti-war activist.[1] She died on May 13, 2018, at her home in Livingston, Montana.[2]

  1. I’ve seen The Great Waldo Pepper and Maverick.

    I was aware of her mental health issues. Sad to hear she died.

    RIP Margot Kidder

  2. Sad news indeed. I knew she had problems with mental health but they haven’t even disclosed how she died yet.

    Margot Kidder was my favorite Lois Lane from one of my all time favorite movies – Superman the Movie.

    There are 7 films I’ve seen on the chart with the first two Superman movies and The Amityville Horror my favorites from that group.

    She also had an uncredited role in Richard Donner’s Maverick.

    A nice tribute Bruce. RIP Margot Kidder.
