@@mavis8933 Comes from the expression, "tall, dark and handsome" describes Christopher Reeve EXACTLY! Really, looks and health are not indicative of a person's personality! How others are treated by the person are far more important! Evidently Christopher Reeve was not only tall, dark and handsome but also a good person! In contrast with many celebrities who while very good looking are absolutely awful people! Hope that explains it!

His first movie after "Superman" was "Deathtrap", with Michael Caine, where he turned out to be the married Caine's secret gay lover. There was a very audible groan in the theater when Chris and Michael passionately kissed. The audience just wasn't ready for it at all (not Superman!)...

Ironically, Christopher Reeve, with the exception of Superman and a couple other movies; Reeve probably played more villains in his career than heroes. (Or certainly as many notable villains; villains or very dark, sullied heroes)... He played villains on Love of Life; Bump in The Night; Street Smart; Deathtrap; Superman 3, (he played both the hero and the villain in that one); The Practice; Monsignor; as well as other TV shows and movies. Interestingly; the same can be said for Mark Hamill; who often gets stuck with villain roles when he's not playing heroic Luke Skywalker; Batman the Animated series playing The Joker; One Day at a Time playing Schneider's evil nephew; the latest incarnation of the Childsplay/Chucky series playing Chucky; etc...
