R.I.P.

We love you Christopher. There was no one else like you.

RIP Chris. You were born to be Superman and you have been him until the day you passed on.

I'm still hopefully being a doubting Thomas. :(

Sad news

RIP Christopher you are walking again now.

I'm still in shock over this.. God bless you and keep you, Mr. Reeve. :crying:

Rest in peace..

i just remember him from that south park episode.

Its true, the local news here in Los Angeles just made an announcement.

RIP SUPERMAN!:crying: peacesign:

Allison said it's also been picked up by Yahoo.. but not in print just yet.

:( Fox News Channel just reported it

RIP Chris, you will always hold a special place in my heart, you are walking with the Angels now

Just saw it on the FOX ticker. It's official. :(

No garbage on this thread. Only condolences.

edited by Janice

as a 24 year old, the Superman movies were a major part of my childhood years. I was always hoping Chris was going to be able to pull through and walk again. It is very sad to hear, especially since he was so courageous and willing to walk again.

RIP :(

ABC just confirmed it in an on-screen scroll during The Practice.

Other online sources are starting to report it, stating that his publicist has confirmed it.

R.I.P., Christopher Reeve. :(

I remember seeing him for the first time in Superman. He was so handsome.

Terrible shame. I remember feeling awful when I heard about his accident. His wife was so devoted to him too.

Fox reportred he went into cardiac arrest, and a coma on Saturday, and then died today. :(

RIP, Chris Reeve. :crying:

It really is sad. You see someone so amazing like him battle for so long with what he had, only to have it kill him. Really pisses me off.

:(

We all have to go sometime. Death is a friend.

.

it's confirmed .... one of those news networks just reported it.

I am saddned by this, from a silver screen hero to true hero, a wonderful man has left us. I believe though that somewhere, he is walking again! Flying even!

RIP :(

My stepdad's niece, who is also paralyzed, once got the chance to interview him in person.

Condolences.

You were such an inspiration. You will be missed. :crying:

Actor, Director and Activist Christopher Reeve Dies at Age 52

BEDFORD, N.Y., Oct. 11 /U.S. Newswire/ -- Christopher Reeve died suddenly at 5:30 p.m. yesterday of heart failure. He was 52 years old.

On Saturday October 9, Reeve fell into a coma after going into cardiac arrest while at home. Reeve was being treated for a pressure wound that he developed, a common complication for people living with paralysis. In the past week, the wound had become severely infected, resulting in a serious systemic infection. Reeve was admitted to Northern Westchester Hospital on Saturday evening and never regained consciousness. His family was at his side at the time of death.

Dana Reeve, Christopher's wife, issued this statement: "On behalf of my entire family, I want to thank Northern Westchester Hospital for the excellent care they provided to my husband. I also want to thank his personal staff of nurses and aides, as well as the millions of fans from around the world who have supported and loved my husband over the years."

"The family asks that you respect their privacy at this very difficult time, "said Wesley Combs, publicist for Mr. Reeve.

Reeve is survived by his mother Barbara Johnson and his father Franklin Reeve, his brother Benjamin Reeve, his wife Dana, their twelve year old son Will and his two children from a former relationship, Matthew (25) and Alexandra (21).

At this time, no plans for a funeral have been announced. Additional information will be released as soon as it is available. Please visit http:;//www.christopherreeve.org for the most up-to-date information.

For those who care to do so, the family has requested that donations be made in his honor to the Christopher Reeve Paralysis Foundation -- http://www.ChristopherReeve.org. Cards may be sent to the family in care of the Foundation at 500 Morris Avenue, Springfield, NJ 07081

I think this is going to be the biggest celebrity death since John Ritter, because Chris was so young, and also he was such an outspoken individual, he really brought the handicapped recognition that no celebrity before could do.

Janet was a screen legend in her time too, especially for Psycho

George Reeves was the 1950's Superman, who also died a tragic early death.

I just hope Dean Cain and Tom Welling will be safe from this so-called "curse" (I've heard people say that about Superman)

How sad... he was far too young to go. I was hoping he would one day be able to walk again. RIP, Christopher.

George Reeves is the name of the actor who played Superman in the 1950s television series... which proves that this "Jack Be Quick" character is playing dumb. He/she obviously knows way more than he/she is letting on.

Let me add to our friend "Jack Be Quick" that it's one thing to "bust our balls" on a message board, but it's another (very inaproppriate) thing to do it in a thread dealing with someone's untimely death.

Please, quit pretending.

AKA, i'm not pretending at all. it's called getting mixed up with first names. afterall, chris and george do have almost the same last names and both played the superman character. so don't tell me that i'm playing dumb because i'm not.
getting confused is more like it.

Wow, he was so young. Even younger than John Ritter. This isn't right. Things like this shouldn't happen to good people. I was hoping that one day he would be able to walk again.

To AKA:I think you need to apologize to Jack Be Quick 101 for
making a premature judgement against him without facts.


He was not trying to misspell Chris' name on purpose.

Christopher "Superman" Reeve 1952-2004.

Rest In Peace,Chris:crying:

I was in shock when I found out that he died this morning when I woke up and heard it on the radio. I knew that he was trying to walk again and everything and that his wife,Dana,was devoted to him. At least now he is walking again up there in heaven.

God bless his wife and family!!!:(

What a downer :( RIP Christopher, you are greatly missed

Whoa, this is news to me. I can't believe it... wow. My thoughts to his family. He was really loved by his fans :crying:

Trust me...Christopher is up there in heaven dancing, running and walking around with a big, ole smile on his face; he is finally free...God Bless Him!!! and condolences to his family..

If only you were invincible....









Does anyone remember the Superbowl commercial where they digitally made Christopher Reeve walk?? That's all I could think of in my head the moment I heard this.

Very sad news.

one little known fact that I find quite ironic and sad.

The last movie Christopher made before his accident in 1995, he played a man who became paralyzed in it, and this was made mere months before his accident :(

I'm devastated...truly truly devastated. I saw the Superman movies for the first time earlier this year and I thought he was such a cute person and I loved him, it was hard enough knowing that he was paralyzed. Than my sister...my 10 year old sister started watching the movies and omg that kid idolized him. She loved him so so so much. For her birthday this past Wednesday she got all the movies a Supergirl barbie, a Superman book, she has a Superman shirt and hat and shoelaces, she would get anything with Christopher Reeve on it, she loved him. Let's just say she took it really hard today, especially only being 10, and the baby in the family.


I'm in shock, I can't believe it. I don't think it's fair, with all the progress he made. He's someone that should always be remembered. And so to prevent me from crying harder than I am now I'm gonna stop.

RIP Christopher Reeve...you were Superman

“Today, we lost a man who was truly America’s hero – Christopher Reeve. Teresa and I were privileged to have known him as a friend and were deeply saddened to learn of his death. We send our prayers to his loving wife and steadfast partner Dana, his children, and the entire Reeve family. He was an inspiration to all of us and gave hope to millions of Americans who are counting on the life-saving cures that science and research can provide. He met every challenge with a courage and character that broke new ground in this struggle. As Christopher once said, ‘So many of our dreams at first seem impossible, then they seem improbable, and then when we summon the will, they soon become inevitable.’ Because he had the strength to carry this cause, I know one day that we will realize that inevitable dream.”—Sen. John Kerry

This morning I went to pick up yesterday's Seattle Times for the obituary of my mother, and I was shocked to read that Christopher Reeve had passed away as well. He was such a brave man in the face of his tragic injuries.

Christopher Reeve, you will always be our

SUPERMAN.

:crying:

A shame to see someone who fought hard and heroically through such a trying ordeal lose his life suddenly to something that was apparenlty not related to his main battle.

You have to hand it the Christopher Reeve for remaining in the public eye after going from famous strong man to severly injured and physically weakend man who could barely breath well enough to speak. Very Courageous, Christopher Reeve. He took on a courageous mission on behalf of millions of others who suffered from and faced a similar fate to the one he was living.

Let's hope that his work will be carried on by others with even more vigor than before.

RIP Christopher Reeve

I was saddened to hear about Christopher's death. I thought the work he'd been doing for spinal cord research was really great, and hopefully it will continue to grow in his memory. The remake of Village of the Damned with him was really good, but he'll always be Superman.

I remember watching all of his Superman movies when I was a kid. He was so good as Superman, that I used to put on a red blanket, blue pants, red shorts, and a blue shirt, and pretend I was Superman.

He was my favorite Superman.

His legend will live on through his movies, and his legacy will live on through his unfortunate handicap. He was a fighter who was determined to walk again.

And also Anna Lee, who passed away in May of this year, after playing the role of Lila Morgan Tolliver Quartermaine on "General Hospital" since 1978. She was 91 years old.

Earlier I posted that Chris Reeve's death was "apprarently not related to his main battle", (paralysis). I've since learned that it was. I read the following about what caused his death.

"Reeve was being treated at Northern Westchester Hospital for a pressure wound, a common complication for people living with paralysis. In the past week, the wound had become severely infected, resulting in a serious systemic infection."

The infection is what prompted the coma and then the cardiac arrest.

What a shame. The Superman films were great fun.

Reeve had a recurring role on "Smallville." I wonder how they're going to handle his passing?

Very sad.

:crying:

Another great one has passed on.... (Rest In Peace)
You will always be in our thoughts and in our hearts.

May God Bless His Soul. :angel: :angel: :angel:

My favorite Christopher Reeve movie was Superman II. The two scenes I liked most from that movie was when after giving up his Superman powers, Clark Kent and Lois Lane drive to a cafe where Clark is then battered by a truck driver. And then at the end of the movie, Clark Kent returns to that cafe after regaining his Superman powers and gets his retribution against that truck driver. After making the truck driver hurt his own hand by allowing him to punch him, he spins him on the stool and then slides him across the counter into a pinball machine. Clark then apologizes to the owner for all the damage, gives him some money in compensation, and finally explains that he has been working out.

It upset me so much to see him hurt Clark after he decided to give up his powers.. but it was great when he got that truck driver back. :lol:

From Chris Reeve's biography:

the boys (Chris and his brother) also spent substantial visitation time with their father, who writing under the name F. D. Reeve, is a noted novelist, poet, and scholar of Russian literature. While with him, Chris and Ben were exposed to a stimulating intellectual environment that included Sunday dinners with F. D. Reeve's friends: Robert Frost, Robert Penn Warren, and Daniel Patrick Moynihan. Meanwhile, Reeve's stepfather, Tristam Johnson, generously paid tuition for the boys to attend an exclusive private school, Princeton Day School, for the academic challenge.

Holy heck. Those are some incredible people to be exposed to!

What does this have to do with anything were supposed to be talking about Christopher Reeve? Why do you have to bring other stuff into this thread.

Not to be mean but can you please discuss stuff in private messages. I mean out of respect for Christopher Reeve i think Janice already closed the other thread because of something like this.

I've sent my condolences to Christiopher Reeve's Official Website (http://www.christopherreeve.org/). This is where his family and friends will be extremely greatful for comments about his achievements with his Paralysis Foundation. :)

I thought he was great in Somewhere In Time I actually caught that for the first time on Monday night. To be honest, it wasn't as good as I was expecting.

He was really good in Remains Of The Day, though.

Kitt, this is off-topic, but where did you get that Superman picture from?

I thought that the 1940's cartoons, the George Reeves (1950's), Christopher Reeves (1970's-80's) Dean Cain (1990's), the newer cartoons, and the guy from Smallville (2000's) were the only men who played Superman.

Also, are those films any good?

Janice, this has gone way off topic - can we please get some of these posts deleted before we end up losing the whole thread?

I liked him in John Carpenter's remake of "Village of the Damned." It was one of his last films before his accident.

I loved him in Noises Off :)

I've seen all 4 of the Superman movies but none of his other work.

I'll have to check them out.

Also, are those films any good? I don't remember where I got the picture from. I was searching around and that one struck me as a fun one to post. I made up the quote that I typed in over the top of the picture. ;)

I don't know about the films. I don't think that I have seen them. The TV version of Superman with George Reeve's was good in my opinion

Out of all the actors who played Superman, I truly think Christopher Reeve's portrayal is the best.

Taking a cue from Janice, here are more cartoon tributes to Christopher Reeve.

Wow AKA.... those are all great.

I cleaned up the mess. Honestly, I'm disappointed that a condolence thread would turn into a fight.

Don't anyone take offense if I edited your posts. I had to if you even quoted an offensive post. I edited even my own.

Last chance. The next off topic post will close this thread.

Who wants to be the one responsible for closing Christopher Reeve's condolence thread?

Great sketches AKA.

Christopher was great in that movie. It's one of my favorite movies and one of the few that I own.

Poor guy got such a raw deal with that freak accident.

I remember him in that.

I also remember reading in Emma Thompson's production diary (for Sense & Sensibility) about the day she found out about the accident. I remember she sounded really upset about it. She called it a "Black, black day."

:(

My favorite role of his was as Prince Charming in Faerie Tale Theatre (anyone who's gone to my homepage can guess why). I first saw him in that when I was four. And I had the hugest crush on him. I wanted to be Bernadette Peters, and have Chris battle Beverley D'Angelo just to give me a kiss. ;)

My favorite appearance of his was at the Academy Awards right after his accident. Everyone saw him and stood up applauding. He had a grin on his face that made him seem like he'd never been so happy.
