such a curse. Before I start into curses are bullshit, let me just say I do believe in somet hings. But lets look at the facts on this one.
First ever Superman was Kirk Alyn, in the serials of the 1940's worked forever and died 1999 of natural causes.
George Reeves death has always been controversial, as at the time he was dating the wife of the head of MGM and the studio executives were literally cutthroat then.
Superman fromt the 1988 syndicated show was Beau Weaverm who has done tons of voiceover work.
Dean Cain from the Adventures of Lois and Clark is currently doing Ripley's Believe it Or Not and Teri Hatcher just starred in Spy Kids and is in a slew of Wireless commercials.
As for Christopher Reeve, I see what happened to him as a horrible tragedy. But if you listen to him he seems to be making the absolute best of it since then, having directed a film "In the Glooming" as well as starring in a remake of "Rear Window." Being a role model for other paraplegics is a very admirable role.
Margot Kidder has made a remarkable recovery and finally admitted her many many mental problems and is seeking treatment for them> S ubsequently she is also getting alot more work.
Cursed? Hardly.
