Question

A.On Sunday, October 10, 2004, actor Christopher Reeve died. He was 52 years old. But this superhero will live on in the memory of children all over the world. Christopher Reeve, despite his handsome looks and great physique, was not the first choice for the role of Superman. Many famous actors passed over the role as they felt it would be “typecast”. Reeve took on the role and the movie hit the theatres in the late 1970s. The movie banner proclaimed, “See it and you will believe a man can fly!” The audience agreed. As Superman’s popularity grew, toy merchants began selling Superman underpants and vests in department stores all across North America. Kids wore these, donned blue capes (towels), ran around their houses and imagined they were flying! The influence was so strong that people living in the upper floors of apartment buildings, kept their doors and windows closed fearing that children might try to fly. The movie’s special effects were good but it was Reeve who gave character to both Superman and his alter-ego Clark Kent. Children needed no urging to believe that he was the last son of Krypton. The Superman movie and its three sequels were so popular that children demanded Superman figures, lunch boxes, thermoses, costumes and capes. Never before had the movie industry witnessed such a phenomenon. If Christopher Reeve was a hero on the silver screen he proved to be a bigger hero off screen. He miraculously survived a riding accident in 1995. But he was paralysed from below the neck and was confined to the wheelchair. But Christopher Reeve refused to be defeated. He vowed to walk again and, more importantly, set up the Christopher Reeve Paralysis Foundation, which has raised millions of dollars to help all those confined to wheel chairs. Christopher Reeve will always be celebrated for the life he lived. It is important that we keep this memory alive by supporting the causes he believed in.
