His effortless strength and all-American looks made him a natural choice to play Superman. But his iconic on-screen role was overshadowed by the tragedy that transformed his life. Christopher Reeve had appeared on daytime television and in one small film role when he was cast as Superman. Though he returned to the part three times, he spent a large part of his career trying to "escape the cape." But in May, 1995, he suffered a devastating accident while competing in an equestrian competition, and it appeared his career--if not his life--would soon be over. BIOGRAPHY® reveals how Reeve defied the odds to become an effective, outspoken advocate for paralysis research and even returned to acting. Filled with the memories of his friends and family, this is an intimate portrait of an inspirational figure.
