[@uva3088]

@@mavis8933 Comes from the expression, "tall, dark and handsome" describes Christopher Reeve EXACTLY! Really, looks and health are not indicative of a person's personality! How others are treated by the person are far more important! Evidently Christopher Reeve was not only tall, dark and handsome but also a good person! In contrast with many celebrities who while very good looking are absolutely awful people! Hope that explains it!

I miss him. I miss them Both. Hell I missed the show

[@RoSR]

So do I. I miss the late nights with him and Doc Severensen playing his heart out.

[@RoSR]

Christopher Reeve's greatest role in my opinion has to be when he played Richard Collier in "Somewhere in Time".

[@ThomasBryant]

110% Agreed.... It was the greatest performance I've ever seen from Reeves! Fully Believable despite the fantasy element.

[@eloisapetermann6810]

Jane Seymour & Chris Reeve should’ve been together in real life

[@RoSR]

@eloisapetermann6810 totally agreeing with you. The chemistry between them is unmatched in movies between 2 people. My opinion, of course.

[@igorschmidlapp6987]

His first movie after "Superman" was "Deathtrap", with Michael Caine, where he turned out to be the married Caine's secret gay lover. There was a very audible groan in the theater when Chris and Michael passionately kissed. The audience just wasn't ready for it at all (not Superman!)...

[@RoSR]

@igorschmidlapp6987 I didn't need to know that.. Appreciate that..

He was such a nice guy. I never heard one thing negative about him. His accident was tragic. The world lost him too early.

[@Chatterbox-94]

Christopher Reeve is the one true Superman. Despite his paralysis he still found a way to keep living and inspiring others.

[@ghanasoul]

Wow. Mr. Reeve was already talkin bout “Superman 2” and had the plot developed. Geez. They knew they had a hit. I also liked how Mr. Reeve gave Rodney Dangerfield props on his act.

[@leafyutube]

Because much of Superman 2 was shot simultaneously with Superman 1.

[@Libanesa-km7ir]

Oh my God Christopher Reeve is so gorgeous! Can't wait for the rapture to occur so that I can meet Christopher Reeve

[@JosephMetts]

Unfortunately Christ as far as I know wasn't a believer in jesus

[@Libanesa-km7ir]

​@JosephMetts Unitarians believe in Jesus. They don't believe that Jesus is God but they do believe that Jesus is the son of God and that salvation comes from Jesus. Their beliefs are Similar to Jehovah witnesses. But also during the past 10 years I've had dreams continously about Christopher Reeve being saved. So I have to believe in these dreams. Are you catholic or evangelical?

[@JosephMetts]

@Libanesa-km7ir I'm evangelical. But I believe that it doesn't matter what domination you identify with. We can all be saved and have eternal life. But we must born again by the spirit of God by believing that God sent his only son to be our sacrifice for our sins and by faith a gift from God and we do not enter eternal life thru keeping the law or any good works we perform. Now in saying that I do believe the scriptures state that Jesus is God in the flesh but I don't think that belief is a requirement to be saved. I'm a big fan of reeve and he was a really nice guy but being nice has nothing to do with eternal life. But I hope he was a believer in Christ and we will find out one day. God bless

[@Libanesa-km7ir]

​@JosephMetts Do you believe that God sends us messages through dreams and visions? Do you believe that if someone dreams about the same issue for 10 years it's because it's true? The bible does say in John 16:13 That God will send the spirit of truth and will reveal what is to come. Something that's not true can't last 10 years. Maybe you might be familiar with this issue since you're evangelical

[@JosephMetts]

@Libanesa-km7ir sorry but I disagree with you about this issue. I don't believe God tells us thru dreams whether certain people are in heaven ur not. I believe our focus should be telling the gospel to people who are alive so they don't end up in hell. If Christopher isn't in heaven today, it's his own fault. He had plenty of time on earth to trust in God's sin for his salvation
