Christopher Reeve, star of the popular Superman films of the late 70’s/early 80’s, as well as numerous other films, died on Sunday from complications of a wound infection.
Following a riding accident in 1995, Reeve became more known for his work in paralysis research founding the Christopher Reeve Paralysis Foundation. However, he still won acclaim in the film world for his directing and acting work following the accident.
Fans of Smallville were particularly fond of his recent work with this generation’s superman as the mysterious Dr. Swann.
