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]

I was just hearing about Margot Kidder on the radio this morning, including an interview with Norman Jewison, one of the first directors she worked with. Although she did not do many movies, and is remembered mainly for playing Lois Lane, I always liked Margot Kidder and found her to be a personable, humorous and attractive actress who didn’t seem to take herself too seriously. Interesting to note that one of her early roles was as James Garner’s co-stars in the short-lived TV series, Nichols, in the early 1970s. RIP!
