Margot Kidder Collection on Letterman, 1982-87

Margot appeared three times on Late Night:
1. November 23, 1982.* Margot promotes the film "Heartaches" (clip edited out due to copyright caution). A few minutes of her discussion on "Some Kind of Hero" were edited out of the broadcast; the video isn't available, but the audio was found and has been inserted into the space where the now-missing footage would have been.
2. April 29, 1986. Margo promotes the tv-movie "The Vanishing Act" and chats with a caller. Also, Dave and Margot briefly talk about her first guest appearance and the cuts made for broadcast.
3. August 4, 1987. Margo promotes the film "Superman IV." The movie clip is deleted here (an earlier version of this collection included the clip and was promptly blocked by Warner Bros. Entertainment).
*Also appearing on the November 23, 1982, Late Night were Grant Tinker and Harry Anderson. Every guest on this show is now deceased.
Grant Tinker's appearance can be seen here: • Grant Tinker on Letter...
Harry Anderson's appearance can be seen here: • Harry Anderson Collect...

Will always love her!

[@juliettebrown2673]

MK was a very intelligent and accomplished person, and clearly an entertaining interview. Sad to hear of her passing♡

[@jasonbertalotto2355]

She was very sweet and gifted actress. Confident and lovely. We miss her

[@andyinoregon]

Great posting, Don. The past 25 years I was constantly reminded of the talented Margot Kidder every time I saw onscreen her equally talented doppelganger Robin Tunney.

[@joeytirado7704]

Margot was sooooo cute and such a sweetheart. Darn she passed away.

[@624radicalham]

This time I cringed when I got this notification from your channel. I was hoping the worst did not just happen. Instead of clicking here, I went straight to the news feeds and there it was, she is dead. I didn't expect this one. You're always on time with your Letterman tributes after a death, and this is a fine tribute indeed to a beautiful, beautiful woman.

[@jaquen1977]

She’s absolutely gorgeous in the second interview with Letterman. She’s glowing and looks radiant. Very much close to how she looked in the first Superman.

[@psdavenport]

Margot was a hoot!! God bless her.

[@schinaro]

Girl of my youthful dreams. Great lady. R.I.P.

[@maynardsmoreland]

RIP Margot Kidder 1948-2018

[@digitalneko7975]

RIP Margot. All the superman films when I was a kid, You are a beautiful and we will miss you dearly. Aloha.

[@itstherevolution]

Wow. You know when you see celebs in real life and they are dissapointing? This is the polar opposite! I grew up with the original superman and I'm so glad she was a hoot in real life! And beautiful / classy!

[@johnstucko2740]

I always thought Margot was HOT.!!! Sorry to hear of her passing today. Thanks for posting.!!

[@johnstucko2740]

Josiah Yanes “Eye of the beholder” dude. I have friends who think the dumbass Kardashians are the hottest ladies on earth. Not me...”Eye of the beholder “

[@bjc12566]

Don, thank you again for these clips. She was a very good actress. Fun watching. Help David, we have no guest. Too funny

[@billjannusch]

Very nice flashback interview with Margot on David Letterman. Those were the days.

[@CesarClouds]

I like how she comes across.

[@user-nd6so7yg2y]

I'm writing script for a movie since Covid started. It will be called the " White Rabbit Prophecies ." Margot Kidder lived in our Canadian village and she went on and on about how she would be impossible. The kids at school laughed at her statement that she would act with Robert Redford someday and she did. She was a Bipolar girl and with the suffering comes gifts and you just have to look for the light. I am sitting in my Library now near a letter from her father that lived in BC Canada. This movie is in honor of you Margot.

[@soupful]

R.I.P Margaret Kidder very sad to learn of your passing, a terrible loss to the Arts and Enviromentalist communities as well family and friends. To thee no star be dark, both heaven and earth friend to thee forever. Xo

[@pucktie215]

I worked with Margot’s niece in Toronto. So striking the resemblance, google her, Janet Kidder.

[@HS22181]

I took you up on your suggestion and you are 100% right about the resemblance. I will make an effort to see one of the films she is in. At this moment she has done 15 movies. She is more active on television work. Thank you for mentioning her.

[@MrSupernova111]

I only knew her from Superman when I saw it as a kid. She never seemed particularly attractive to me but I was too young to know the difference when I saw the film. She played her role well as far as I was concerned. RIP.

[@jaquen1977]

Supernova Really? When I was a kid in the 80s/early 90s I thought her Lois Lane was so gorgeous. Had an eternal crush on this woman.

[@josipmickovic2572]

Great woman, was reading after she passed about her life, being homeless etc.. you could see the bars of free society through her appearances.

[@71marsha]

💔When I was a kid watching Ms. Kidder in Superman movies, I always thought she had a beautiful smile, especially when she did the interview with superman in the 1st movie. As I watched her as she gotten older from her other YT videos streaming, her personality is awesome. I hope she served the Lord correctly b4 she left this world? 💔

[@emilycunningham8125]

Sorry to burst your bubble. She was Atheist. But she was one of the most caring and giving human beings to grace this Earth.

[@71marsha]

Emily Cunningham An Atheist?!! Oh! Wow! I thought I read about her being an atheist but I figured maybe she was an atheist back in her younger days n her beliefs changed as she's gotten older? Truly sad. 💔

[@71marsha]

Emily Cunningham Oh! I 4got about that pipe line ordeal. I dnt get myself wrapped up in politics bcuz Man can't make my flight better. As for MK, besides this video, I mostly been viewing videos of her with the Superman cast(Comiccom)and clips of her in the Superman movies. Anyways, all I can say is, it's a done deal when we dnt repent, walk righteously n continue to do the Lord's will that's if the individual are still walking on the face of this earth but once you die, you will be judge on judgement day. I dnt want to say it but it seems like Ms. Kidder died as a reprobate. That's the hurting part. As scriptures says that not everyone going to see nor hear his words. Nice chatting with you, Emily. Matthew 13:16-17(KJV) 16But blessed are your eyes, for they see: and your ears, for they hear. 17For verily I say unto you, That many prophets and righteous men have desired to see those things which ye see, and have not seen them; and to hear those things which ye hear, and have not heard them. Peace n Grace!💕

[@djm.326]

There's always the possibility (as long as we're still on earth at least) that she'll be in heaven even though she was an Atheist. Alot has been said that origional Hebrew writing has been misinterpreted...including the word hell and eternal. Who knows for sure...I sure hope her soul is ok. She was a very caring and loving sweet lady.

[@danieldalton6544]

She was the antithesis of a judgemental person and more loving and caring than ANY of you all. A moral human being who did more for others and fought for what's right beyond ANYTHING you all can comprehend or attempt let alone accomplish. Save your judgement for yourselves you self righteous religious zealots.

[@evernevermore-ci2so]

Love Margot. She had such a great sense of humor. Miss her. RIP, dear lady.

[@zenpaganwarrior]

Margot was an incredibly unique and beautiful woman. Wonderful to watch! Thanks for the post, Don.

[@simonp7095]

Surprised how good looking she was in the last interview

[@kanealson5200]

Oh Don. I just see these come up in my feed and click on them and then later at some point I say to myself 'Oh wait didn't she die?' and then look it up and she just had. Later I realize that you don't make a lot of these randomly. I don't blame you but it gets a bit depressing and bittersweet to see these people in the videos coming up. How about some random living people collections? ; ) I'm kidding, I know you make those too. The only danger is that If you do the post mortem videos often enough, when a new video appears featuring anyone at all, people might get the wrong idea. Especially the people in the video. There's another weird fact to this video that the next guest was Harry Anderson. Two guests on the same show not knowing that they would both die 35 years later within weeks of each other. 13:10 to kzbin.info/www/bejne/h6unq3uHadiLjtkm42s

[@dongiller]

Nobody reads my descriptions beneath the videos.

[@kanealson5200]

lol that's true. I will correct this behavior today.

[@chiefscheider]

12:11 "Joe Jobs -- sounds like something from Hostess." Thought that was pretty funny but Dave didn't get a single laugh.

[@dunning234]

I was so in love with her.

[@gregmaggio5217]

Uh oh, it looks as though she was already vibrating on different level..lots more to come!

[@thoughtsurferzone5012]

Only a couple of years away from her bad phase.

[@allneonlike5543]

She is clearly not sober here, poor girl she suffered from alcoholism and drug abuse RIP Margot kidder, thanks for Black Christmas xoxo

[@sebastianhoward3304]

29:23 lmao

[@andyrose5616]

I'd love to have seen the look on the censor's face as that sex scene anecdote was playing out.

[@dongiller]

Listen to the unearthed audio and you'll hear a word silenced several times except for the last.

[@andyrose5616]

I noticed that... I guess they initially considered airing it with muting but changed their minds. Which is weird since ordering such a long cut after the taping was over had to blow a big hole in the show’s running time. I’m also surprised they allowed “a good lay” to be aired.

[@dongiller]

They didn't; "lay" was part of the unearthed audio, so I spliced it into the video. Not the cleanest edit but I was in a rush. :)

[@melloyellow5598]

@@dongiller You did good,👍 especially considering what you had to work with, & around. I sense Margot was an intelligent person, and she was doing her best to tell the adult/sensitive story about researching Hookers without alarming the FCC sensors OR sounding 'trashy." She was kind of backed in to a bit of a corner and overall she handled it well. Remember, way back when, before Dave jumped Networks, he had a strained relationship with his "new bosses", "the corporate suits" at GE. They wanted to micro manage the show and other issues, Dave was unhappily under contract for a long while and there was always an undercurrent of him pushing the envelope just to make the corporate suits squirm. The Hooker research story segment seems like one of those times when Dave was messing with his nemises in upper management on purpose. Just curious, can anyone tell me what the "unearthed version" is or what it means?

[@dongiller]

The first interview comes from a pre-broadcast source. Her sex details were edited out, but the audio was inexplicably heard later in the show on only one channel. The other audio channel was in sync with its corresponding video. I then extracted the audio of the sex details and positioned it in its proper location. Easy-peasy. :)

[@Daavhimself]

Damn she was Lois in real life

[@allanshulstad1783]

I'm sorry that she left behind a grandson and daughter.

[@danieldalton6544]

And granddaughter.

[@charleswinokoor6023]

Funny! I cracked up when Dave asked her what those orgasm sounds in the movie actually sounded like. And he could be funny when he was uncomfortable with a female guest talking about sex.

[@ben8447]

she looks a hell of a lot better in the last interview then the second-what was going on with her teeth?

[@jaquen1977]

Banana Man I think she looks sexy in the third clip, but I think she looks her most lovely in the second interview actually. Like she said, healthier. She actually looks pretty close to how she did in the first Superman.

[@Ma_Ba]

In a different video, unsure of year, she mentions a car accident with a broken pelvis and a lot of dental work.

[@danieldalton6544]

@@Ma_Ba she had her teeth done after the first Superman in '79. The broken pelvis car accident was in the 2000's.

[@christopherramon-reid9841]

She was a perfect choice for Lois Lane.

[@bySterling]

Wow she looks like a scary ex here But now that know here real life bi polar story and suicide, so so sad

[@danieldalton6544]

Heartaches was not remotely funny or remarkable, unfortunately, cuz I always liked her. Neither was Some Kind Of Hero. And the less said about Superman IV the better. Vanishing Act, however, was good.
