Christopher Reeve
A biography of the star of four Superman films, whose dramatic career was cut short by a fractured spinal cord when he fell off a horse in 1995.
Still Me
Through his leading role in the three Superman films, Christopher Reeve became so closely identified with the superhero that he wasn't just seen as the actor who played Superman, he was Superman. Which is why the tragic riding accident which left him paralysed from the neck down shocked the world. Superman was not superhuman. It is also why he is now the world's most recognisable person in a wheelchair. In true superhero style, Christopher Reeve refuses to resign himself to the life of a quadriplegic, and is actively campaigning to raise the profile of spinal-cord injury victims and research. Although he was initially told that he would only ever be able to move his head, he can now shrug his shoulders and breathe alone for increasing periods of time, and is determined that he will walk again. It is this extraordinary courage and determination that has made Christopher Reeve the internationally admired figure that he is, and it is this bravery which makes this autobiography about his paralysis and his journey to recovery such a powerful and moving story.

Still Me
When the first Superman movie came out I was frequently asked 'What is a hero?' I remember the glib response I repeated so many times. My answer was that a hero is someone who commits a courageous action without considering the consequences--a soldier who crawls out of a foxhole to drag an injured buddy to safety. And I also meant individuals who are slightly larger than life: Houdini and Lindbergh, John Wayne, JFK, and Joe DiMaggio. Now my definition is completely different. I think a hero is an ordinary individual who finds strength to persevere and endure in spite of overwhelming obstacles: a fifteen-year-old boy who landed on his head while wrestling with his brother, leaving him barely ...

Christopher Reeve
In 1978, Superman, The Movie was released to thunderous applause worldwide. It starred Christopher Reeve, a young, Juilliard-trained actor who was more at home onstage than as the Man of Steel. Offscreen, he was an avid volunteer for political, environmental, and social causes. Until a tragic horse jumping accident in 1995, however, Christopher Reeve's big-screen persona largely overshadowed his off-camera activism. The accident left Reeve a quadriplegic. In the days that followed his injury, his wife and family fueled his will to live. In addition, the love and concern he had shown the world through his volunteerism-most notably displayed by his journey to Chile in 1988 to save actors wrong...
