Margot Kidder

Margaret Ruth Kidder (born October 17 1948, Yellowknife, Northwest Territories, Canada), better known as Margot Kidder, was a popular and daring film actress of the 1970's and 1980's.

Film and theater

She is best known for her role as Lois Lane in the 1978 movie Superman and its sequels. Kidder brought more depth to the role than previous actresses had done, portraying Lane as a headstrong, yet vulnerable and emotionally lonely woman trying to make it in a man's world. After she publicly expressed her disgust to the producers, Alexander Salkind and Ilya Salkind, over the firing of Richard Donner from 1980's Superman II, her role in 1983's Superman III consisted of less than 5 minutes of footage. Her presence was sorely missed by fans and moviegoers, and her role in 1987's ' was much more substantial.
