Christopher Reeve föddes i september 1952. Han var med i sin första skolpjäs när han var åtta och han började agera i TV-program och filmer medan han fortfarande gick på college. Han gjorde många framgångsrika filmer och TV-program men han är mest känd för sina Stålmannen-filmer. Tyvärr kom katastrof 1995 då han föll från sin häst och bröt ryggen. Läkarna förväntade sig inte att han skulle leva. Han gjorde dock fantastiska framsteg. Till en början kunde han inte andas utan en maskin, men han lärde sig att andas själv. Han skulle aldrig gå igen men han började ett nytt liv med stort mod. Andra året efter olyckan återvände Christopher till filmskapandet. Han samlade också in mycket pengar för att främja medicinsk forskning om ryggskador. Han höll tal över hela USA om sina erfarenheter. Detta uppmärksammade inte bara forskning om ryggskador utan uppmuntrade också många människor som levde med alla möjliga slags problem. Från deras hem berättade Christopher och hans fru Dana om sitt liv efter olyckan. Kan du säga nåt om ditt liv efter olyckan? "Fyra dagar efter olyckan kom jag att förstå min situation. Läkarna sa att jag inte skulle klara mig. Den tiden var hemsk. Men min fru Dana sa: "Du är fortfarande du och jag älskar dig. Var självsäker." Och det räddade mitt liv. Sedan den stunden har jag aldrig tänkt på att ge upp." Vad tycker du om din familj? "Toppen! Dana är så underbar.Vi har alltid kommit riktigt bra överens.Mina föräldrar grälade ofta med varandra när jag var ung, men de har kommit närmare sedan olyckan." Hur tillbringar du din tid? "Jag ägnar större delen av min tid åt välgörenhetsarbete för att förbättra livet för alla funktionshindrade.Jag tror att de behöver min hjälp. Med utvecklingen av ny medicinsk forskning, är jag säker på att människor som jag skulle kunna gå igen en dag. Så du kan se _!" Christopher Reeve avled den 10 oktober 2004.
