Oh man... what a sad day. I just watched the first Superman movie about a month ago. She was the definitive Lois Lane.

R.I.P. Margot Kidder.

I volunteered for a Film and Comic Con in Scotland about nearly 3 years ago now. We were told that if we wanted an autograph to do so at the end of the day. And yet there were lots of guests there,Margot Kidder was there and was the only person I wanted to meet. And I got so nervous I started stuttering my words in front of her. She was honestly the most lovely woman and the kindest person there. I'm so glad I got that chance to talk to her, and I'm going to cherish this for the rest of my life:
