Johnny Carson with Christopher Reeve - 1979!!

"Filmcritics say the young actor chosen to play the lead in Superman is the best reason to see the movie." And you have to pay a whopping $4.50 to see him fly around!

Reeve's had a joke that went completely beyond everyones head, that was, "I have x-ray vision, not x-rated vision." or perhaps it was just not very funny.


I noticed that, too. I can't imagine Carson not catching the joke, so maybe he just didn't think it was funny. I thought it was clever.

After Christopher Reeve passed away, 'Aint It Cool News' posted a story (I don't know who the actual author is, sorry), and it really touched me, especially this part:

'At the age of seven years old, I wrote three heroes of mine for their autograph. The only one that responded was Christopher Reeve. 8 months after I mailed it, in an envelope one day came a small 3x5 photograph of Superman autographed “To Harry, Christopher Reeve”.

As an Eagle Scout that believes in Truth, Justice and the American Way… that believed when that man flew, that a man could fly… every issue of Action, Adventure, World’s Finest, Superboy, Lois Lane, Jimmy Olsen and Superman… in every word bubble that came out of a Curt Swan's Supes' head, I heard Christopher Reeve. I don’t believe any actor will ever completely own a role so perfectly as Chris owns SUPERMAN. '

God bless his soul! He was such a great man, inside and out!
