Before superheroes took over every screen and billboard out there, there was a phenomenon called Christopher Reeve. Tall, charming, and with a jawline that could stop traffic, the actor was a force to be reckoned with. Through his career and perseverance, Christopher Reeve left a permanent mark on Hollywood, one that will not be erased for years and years to come.

While we may not have him anymore, he did leave his genes behind in the form of his three children, Matthew, Alexandra, and Will. While his daughter chose not to step into the spotlight, his sons have contributed to the industry in one way or the other. Let’s take a moment to learn all about Matthew and Will Reeve.

Journalist Will Reeve, who is the youngest son of the late Supermanactor Christopher Reeve, has something to soon celebrate. Will, who works as a correspondent for ABC News, is set to marry event planner Amanda Dubin. The couple announced their engagement in November 2024 via Instagram. Per People, for his upcoming wedding, Will said he will pay tribute to his late father by wearing something special on the day.

“I’ll be wearing his cufflinks,” said Will, 32, of how he will honor his father, who died in 2004. The elder Reeve was paralyzed in a horse-riding accident in 1995. Will’s mother, singer/actor Dana Reeve, died of lung cancer in 2006. The younger Reeve did not confirm when or where the wedding will take place.

Christopher Reeve, who played the Man of Steel in four Supermanmovies from 1978 to 1987, became an advocate for spinal cord injuries after his accident.

Will Reeve, the youngest son of the late Christopher Reeve, has chosen a different career path from his father, best known for playing Supermanin four movies in the franchise from 1978 to 1987. The younger Reeve does have a cameo in the forthcoming Superman movie, but normally, one will find him in his job as an ABC News correspondent (and not at the Daily Planet like Clark Kent).

Reeve appeared on Live with Kelly and Mark on Feb. 21 and touched on why he wouldn’t want to play Superman on the big screen, and said he’s never been asked to do so.“No, I’ve never gotten the ask. I learned at an early age from my parents, who were both accomplished performers, that in order to succeed in entertainment, or really anything, but certainly in entertainment, you need the craft like you need air to breathe,”Reeve said.

Taking on any superhero role is quite a commitment, as actors are tasked with representing some of the most courageous figures in storytelling. One of the most iconic actors to play a comic-book vigilante is the late Christopher Reeve. He was cast in 1978's Superman and proved to be perfect casting as Clark Kent. His take on this classic DC hero has been celebrated by audiences ever since Richard Donner's cinematic masterpiece was released. Fans were left distraught when Christopher Reeve was left paralyzed by a horse riding accident on May 27, 1995. This tragic occurrence is the main inspiration behind Super/Man: The Christopher Reeve Story. Directed by documentary filmmakers Peter Ettedgul and Ian Bonhote, the movie is a beautiful portrait of Christopher Reeve's story as both an actor and a disability activist.

Super/Man: The Christopher Reeve Story has been a major hit with audiences and critics, securing 98% fresh...

Although superhero serials and TV shows had been around for decades prior, Richard Donner’s 1978 version of Superman marked the first major, studio-funded DC feature film in Hollywood. The film’s commercial and critical success led to Richard Lester’s acclaimed follow-up, Superman II, solidifying the late great Christopher Reeve as a cinematic symbol of truth, justice, and hope. Over 25 years later, the events of the ridiculous follow-ups, Superman III and Superman IV: The Quest For Peace, were bypassed by Bryan Singer to accommodate Superman Returns, arguably ranking among the finest cinematic showcases for Clark Kent to prove his protective might. Sure, the movie isn’t as fun-filled or enjoyable as a children’s superhero outing should be, but, as far as restoring the luster into Superman’s cape and proving the comic book hero’s box office viability, Superman Returns did its job. At least, that’s how most critics and general moviegoers felt.

HBO has announced that DC Studios’ Super/Man: The Christopher Reeve Story will air Saturday, Dec. 7 at 8/7c (and stream on Max). “Chronicling his personal and professional life before and after the near-fatal horseback riding accident in 1995 that left him paralyzed from the neck down,” the film “uses Reeve’s own words, as well as intimate input from his closest family members and friends, to paint a rich, nuanced portrait of a man who refused to be defined by...

Discovery to acquire the movie and release it under the DC Studios banner.

Plot: A deep dive into the life of Christopher Reeve, from his overnight stardom as Superman through to his life after the tragic accident which left him a person with quadriplegia.

Review: When I heard Sundance would be showing a documentary about the life of Christopher Reeve, I correctly assumed that it wouldn’t leave a dry eye in this house whenever it was screened. Indeed, as the premiere screening wound up, the sobs from the audience were pronounced, and Super/Man: The Christopher Reeve Story is certainly a heartbreaking experience. Now that the film is getting a limited theatrical run (from Fathom Events), with an expansion rumoured for later this month, fans everywhere will get to shed a tear and be inspired by this icon.

It’s not a particularly pointed question, even from someone like David Letterman, who could certainly get pointed: “Has anything interesting come of that relationship?”

It was 1982, and the “Late Night” host was asking his guest, Christopher Reeve, in his first appearance on the show, about his relationship with Marlon Brando on the set of Richard Donner’s 1978 hit “Superman.” Reeve, shockingly, instead of just saying something like, “He’s a legend” and moving on, decided to give an honest answer.

“I must say,” he responded, in that mannered yet serious tone only Reeve could really pull off. “I don’t say this to be vicious: I don’t worship at the altar of Marlon Brando, because I feel that he’s copped out, in a certain way.” Reeve went on to explain: “He doesn’t care anymore.”

Letterman, stunned, stumbled over a few lines, then recovered to get a huge laugh,...

Christopher Reeve’s three children, Matthew, Alexandra and Will, recently sat down together to discuss their father and the new documentary Super/Man: The Christopher Reeve Story, which features behind-the-scenes accounts about his life, career and the tragic accident that left him paralyzed from the neck down. Less than a decade after his accident, he passed away due to heart failure in 2004. Sadly, his widow and son Will‘s mother Dana Reeve died just a few years later. Now, Will is opening up about becoming an orphan at 13. He shared in the interview, “Despite the love and security that my siblings provided me, and my family provided me, and my adoptive family provides me, that was the moment, March 6, 2006 … I’ve been alone since then.” His older half-siblings stepped in to help raise him. Alexandra was a law student at the time, while Matthew was already working as a producer. Matthew said to Will,...

Superman star Christopher Reeve‘s career was cut short in 1995, when he was involved in a horse-riding accident that resulted in his becoming paralyzed from the neck down — an injury so severe that he wondered if there was a point to carrying on. But the love and support of his wife Dana Reeve and his family gave him the strength to keep going for another nine years — a story that is being told in the new documentary Super/Man: The Christopher Reeve Story, which will hit select theaters on Sept. 21, 2024. In the film, Christopher’s son Will Reeve, who was only about 12 years old when his father died, opened up about the first person to visit his dad in the hospital after his accident: none other than actor and comedian Robin Williams. D. Morrison/Daily Express/Hulton Archive/Getty Images Will explained, “Robin was Dad’s best friend, and you show up for your friends.

For an entire generation of people born in the seventies, Superman is not George Reeves or Henry Cavill. It’s Christopher Reeve.

On May 27, 1995, “Superman” was thrown from a horse and, as a result, was paralyzed from the neck down.

The story of Christopher Reeve’s life, career, accident, and amazing comeback is told in the aptly titled Super/Man: The Christopher Reeve Story. Through archival footage and new interviews, directors Ian Bonhôte and Peter Ettedgui provide a detailed account of Reeve’s rise to fame, the tragedy that almost took his life, and the activism that followed.

The interviews in Super/Man: The Christopher Reeve Story include the usual suspects of fellow celebrities and political figures, but the most impactful segments are the interviews with Reeve’s three children. Bonhôte and Ettedgui are...

Everyone matures a little when they learn that tragic heartbreaks don’t happen just in the movies, but in real life, too. It often takes people a personal incident to realize the gravity of a broken heart, and Christopher Reeve’s ex-girlfriend Jane Seymour knows this all too well. Deeply and madly in love with the late actor, her world came crashing down when he left her for his ex, Gae Exton.

We can’t really blame Christopher Reeve, though. After all, he had just learned that Gae Exton was pregnant with their first child. As the actor decided to take her hand and stand by her, Jane Seymour was left behind with an ache in her chest, and anyone who had ever been heartbroken before would feel for her.

Slated to release in theaters in September 2024, the documentary from Ian Bonhôte and Peter Ettedgui, moved much of its audience to tears with Reeve’s intimate home movies and an extraordinary trove of personal archive material.

Christopher Reeve became a huge movie star after the critical and commercial success of 1978’s Superman. Everyone loved his nerdy, charming yet heroic portrayal of the character and he became an instant sensation. The actor reprised the role for three more films, further catapulting his star power.

However, tragedy struck in 1995 as Reeve fell off a horse and suffered two crushed vertebrae, leading him to be paralyzed for the remainder of his life. The actor grew disillusioned and contemplated suicide. However, the support of his wife Dana Reeve, and the love pact she made with Reeve changed the course of the actor’s life, for the better.

Starring as one of the first proper live-action feature-length leads of a Superman movie, Christopher Reeve left behind an unmatched legacy. A role that he held onto for nine years saw his popularity sky-rocket and his persona greatly amplified. Additionally, his off-screen life also largely mirrored his on-screen role as every day brought with it new adventures and the fearless star had no hesitation in trying out exploring something he had never done before, almost on a daily basis.

Despite all such highs, tragedy struck him in the first half of the 1990s. An unforeseen situation not only crippled him but also left him in deep psychological pain. Almost losing out on the will to live, the actor found strength in his wife, Dana Reeve. The actress presented an act of bravery and hope that still stands tall as one of the most emotional stories ever told.

James Gunn praises the documentary Super/Man: The Christopher Reeve Story and calls it a "stunningly beautiful" and emotional film. The documentary explores Christopher Reeve's rise to fame as Superman and his 1995 accident that led to a spinal injury. Reeve's family participated in the documentary and the film is expected to be available on the Max streaming service in the future.

After the documentary Super/Man: The Christopher Reeve Story was acquired by Warner Bros. Discovery, DC Studios co-ceo James Gunn opened up about the moving and heartfelt film. The documentary is about Christopher Reeve, who starred in the 1978 Superman movie along with three sequels. Gunn is currently working on his own Superman film for the DC Universe titled Superman: Legacy. Now that Warner Bros. Discovery has officially acquired the documentary following its debut at Sundance, Gunn has given some of his thoughts on Super/Man.

Following the announcement of Wbd's acquisition,...

Having just attended the 2024 Sundance Film Festival, I can testify that none of the movies I saw here received the overwhelming emotional reaction that Super/Man: The Christopher Reeve Story did. You can read my review here but suffice to say the legendary actor-turned-advocate was done right by this crowdpleaser. As such, it’s about to set a record for the highest price ever paid for a documentary at the festival. Indeed, Warner Bros is set to acquire the film for a record $15 million.

To be sure, this acquisition makes perfect sense. Warner Bros is the studio behind all of Christopher Reeve’s Superman films, and with that series figuring so heavily into the doc, it’s no wonder the studio would be eager to pick it up. With James Gunn’s Superman movie on the way, the older DC library is ripe for reexamination, and this documentary gives younger viewers,...

Directed by Ian Bonhôte and Peter Ettedgui, Super/Man: The Christopher Reeve Story recounts and examines the incredibly compelling, tragic, redemptive story of actor and activist Christopher Reeve. He was made famous playing the superhero Superman in Richard Donner/Richard Lester/Sidney J. Furie’s quartet of films in the ’70s and ’80s. In 1995, Reeve was paralyzed from the neck down after being thrown from a horse during a competition. That terrible accident eventually sparked the creation of the Christopher & Dana Reeve Foundation, a non-profit whose goal is to cure spinal-cord injury and improve the quality of life for those with paralysis.

It’s hard to write criticism of films like these. Super/Man: The Christopher Reeve Story is an important movie about an important subject, supported by those closest to him––in this case, Reeve’s grown-up children Matthew, Alexandra, and Will. Bonhôte and Ettedgui are accomplished documentarians (see their...

For the release of Richard Donner's "Superman: The Movie" in 1978, an ingenious ad campaign was launched that centered around promising audiences something no movie could hope to deliver. "You'll Believe A Man Can Fly," read the tagline on the one-sheets, supplemented by a beautifully evocative painting of clouds and the "S" shield logo. As audacious as this campaign was, it nonetheless was part of the ethos surrounding the film and the depiction of the titular character. While it's true that certain visual effects techniques were developed to make the flying sequences in "Superman" try and live up to such a promise, Donner knew that the element he really had to focus on was casting the part. If audiences believed in the man, they'd believe he was flying.

As fate would have it, Donner found the perfect Superman (not to mention Clark Kent) in Christopher Reeve, a then-unknown Juilliard graduate...

Bobby Rivers, who hosted Food Network’s “Top 5” and VH1’s celebrity talk show “Watch Bobby Rivers,” died at 70 on Tuesday in Minneapolis, according to Wisn.

His sister Betsy Rivers also posted on Facebook, “Bobby passed away last night and is no longer in any pain.”

Many journalists and critics paid tribute to him on social media. Michael Musto wrote, “Bobby Rivers was an openly gay trailblazer. He was funny, campy, knowledgeable and groundbreaking.”

Stephen Whitty wrote, “Bobby was a very funny, very knowledgeable journalist, and a tireless advocate for more diversity, particularly in the classic film world. (His piece on race and ‘It’s a Wonderful Life’ was a keeper.)”

Originally from Los Angeles, Rivers attended Marquette University in Wisconsin. Rivers made his start at Milwaukee’s radio station Wqfm. He was hired as a morning newsman, becoming a popular on-air personality. When he was fired in July 1978, over 1,000 listeners...

To offer greater support and strengthen peer connections across families impacted by paralysis, the Christopher & Dana Reeve Foundation launched a new online community, Reeve Connect.

The forum will serve as a virtual home base for individuals living with paralysis, as well as their caregivers and family members to ask questions, share experiences, and connect with others who understand the everyday challenges and intimate realities of paralysis. This project was made possible through a cooperative agreement with the Administration for Community Living (Acl).

Reeve Connect aims to combat feelings of isolation that are all too common across the paralysis community. With over 560,000 individuals with disabilities never leaving their homes, many individuals living with paralysis rely on digital connections and online communities as their social outlets.

“Navigating paralysis requires a constant lifeline of support. Whether you are newly diagnosed or living with paralysis for some time, there are always new questions and...

When considering that this week would have been Christopher Reeve's 66th birthday, we find ourselves reflecting on an interview he gave in which a reporter asked, “How do you define a hero?” Christopher considered the question a moment before responding. Finally he noted, “For me, personally, a hero is somebody who will make sacrifices for others without expecting a reward.” “Superman is all that,” mused the interviewer. “That’s what I try to play,” Christopher replied. Then came the biggie: “How about Christopher Reeve? Is he a hero?" The answer was an honest one. “I don’t know,” he said. “I can’t start leaping to those conclusions.” (Photo Credit: Warner Bros) Thankfully, the rest of the world can and did, given the global response to the actor’s passing on Oct. 10, 2004, nearly a decade after the horseback riding accident that paralyzed him from the neck down.

The Christopher & Dana Reeve Foundation, a nonprofit dedicated to improving quality of life for people living with paralysis, has created four new videos that feature informative information on different aspects of health and real-life situations while living with paralysis.

The videos can be found on the Foundation’s YouTube channel, which also features personal stories, wheelchair reviews, new technology available, and many more.

The newest videos include:

Bowel Maintenance: A significant part of living a healthy life after paralysis is having a proper bowel management program, which reduces the risk of incontinence, constipation and other GI problems. It is important to start a bowel management program immediately after being injured. This video will show you what steps to take to establish a routine and equipment to use for a healthier, more independent lifestyle. Autonomic Dysreflexia: Caused by a harmful stimulus below the point of injury, Autonomic Dysreflexia (Ad) is a hyperactive reflex.

The 70-year-old actress got emotional while delivering a touching speech at the Christopher & Dana Reeve Foundation's annual "A Magical Evening" Gala in New York City on Thursday, where she reflected on the late actors and her friendship with them both. 

"My first connection to Christopher Reeve was through Robin Williams, when we were shooting The World According to Garp. It was the summer of 1982, when we were filming on Fishers Island," Close began. "On Friday evenings, Chris would literally swoop in, piloting his own plane, scoop Robin up, and away they would fly for the weekend. On Sunday, late afternoon, Chris would swoop back in and deliver Robin back -- I have to say a little worse for wear."

"Those were the heady days for them both," she continued...
