Margot Kidder Dies: 'Superman's Lois Lane & 'Amityville Horror' Star Was 69
May 14, 2018 9:58am
Margot Kidder, who played Lois Lane opposite Christopher Reeve in the 1970s and '80s
Superman movies and starred in many other films including
The Amityville Horror before struggling with mental illness in her later years
, has died. She was 69. The Franzen-Davis Funeral Home in Livingston, MT, said she died Sunday but did not give a cause of death.
Kidder appeared with many of Hollywood's leading men during her 50-year career, including Robert Redford and James Garner, but remains best known for playing the plucky Daily Planet reporter with a penchant for finding trouble in Superman (1978), Superman II (1980), Superman III (1983) and Superman IV (1987),
Born on October 17, 1948, in Yellowknife, Canada, Kidder started her career in TV in the late 1960s, guesting on such shows as McQueen and The Mod Squad. She starred opposite Gene Wilder in the 1970 film Quackster Fortune Has a Cousin in the Bronx before landing a regualr role on the 1971-72 NBC drama Nichols, starring Jim Garner, and continued to work mostly in TV until appearing in four films in 1974, including The Great Waldo Pepper.
Her other films of that era included The Reincarnation of Peter Proud, The Gravy Train with Stacy Keach and opposite Peter Fonda in 92 in the Shade. After the runaway success of the first Superman movie — "You'll believe a man can fly," was the tagline 40 years ago — Kidder starred in Shoot the Sun Down (1978) with Christopher Walken before playing Kathy Lutz alongside James Brolin and Rod Steiger in the 1979 classic creepshow The Amityville Horror.
After the first Superman sequel, She toplined the 1981 road-trip movie Heartaches and co-starred with Richard Pryor in Some Kind of Hero (1982). A year later, she and the legendary comic reteamed in Superman III, in which Pryor played Gus Gorman, who learned how to create Kryponite.
Funeral service information is pending.
