SHe had a helluva time... She was such an underrated actor, she did a lot more than Lois Lane and was good every time.

Barbara Walters was such a warm, sympathetic, natural interviewer, so glad it was her who interviewed her. Also so glad everyone, from. the street people to the police to lady whose property she ended up on were so good to hear. To me, mental illness is Nature's cruelest trick.

Yes so true. I was in the e.r. & at night you get mentally ill people along w/ alcoholics etc & in the e.r. you have to wait around until they put people in the mental ward anyway i heard this man screaming over & over for hrs so iasked the nurse will he be o.k & what can u possibly do to help b/c it is scary esp after hrs & hrs of non stop nonsense that was endless & she said hed been there b4 he had been up for 3 days the last time non stop talking but she said its all chemical & they can medicate. I cant believe margot remembers this. Also wonder if the alcohol creates tooth problrms b/c mstthew perry said one day he bit into a sandwich & every tooth was in there. As i said marot's teeth had that false teeth look to it.

I wonder if anyone has sought to continue and finish her autobiography.

I remember this story came out right after chris reeve's horse ridng accident. So sad she lost her life from suicide. To hear her talk about it i wish someone got her to a hospital. It was like omg my lois & superman back to back. She said it in a dvd special she wished she could have seen him more but he had his accident & she joked " and i went crazy" so sad b/c people do get paranoid they freak out numb the depression w/ drugs alcholic. I read carrie Fischer 's book she said her bi polar did the same. Margot looked very diff between only superman 1& 2 very thin & i noticed harder looking sadly & her teeth seemed to be quick dental work like u can tell when she talked. Its so noticeable b/c 50% of the movie was shot 3 yrs b4 but they had to re do scenes so the new director re did them.

I watched her on the Dick Cavette show when she was young. She reads a quote from Joan Garrity. Janis Joplin/and Gloria Swanson. kzbin.info/www/bejne/sKvWdXaZZdNjp6ssi=BXqTfgK27iUbS1jO 1970 Its funny what she says what have you brought me I brought you I'm from Vancouver and this was in the Vancouver paper and it was an article by a woman whose name I've forgotten and she was talking about the 10 most sexy men in North America and she says and last but hardly the least is television's Dick Cavett he alone is going to usher in the era of the sexy leprechaun
