She had a lot of personality. No other actress comes close to topping her performance as Lois Lane. Sadly she had a lot of issues with drugs and alcohol like Carrie Fisher I believe. RIP.
So creepy.... For the past hour I've been whistling the love theme from Superman The Movie, for no reason... always liked her. EDIT: I didn't know she had died when I was whistling the love theme... that's what made it creepy!
Margot Kidder made her big and small screen debuts in films and on television shows in her native Canada. Her first American film was 1969's GAILY, GAILY, a tale set in 1910 Chicago. Kidder played "Adeline," one of the girls in the Midwest's most elegant and finely furnished brothel. Norman Jewison directed the Beau Bridges comedy. Henry Mancini's score appeared on a United Artists LP, which was re-issued on CD by Kritzerland in 2009.
The 1970 film in which Margot Kidder co-starred was done no favors by its title—QUACKSER FORTUNE HAS A COUSIN IN THE BRONX. The film was produced by Sidney Glazier (THE PRODUCERS) and was only the second feature directed by Waris Hussein. In the film, Gene Wilder starred as the title character “Quackser Fortune,” who earns a living in Dublin by collecting horse manure and selling it to housewives for their gardens. He meets and immediately falls in love with “Zazel Pierce” (Margot Kidder), a wealthy American student at Trinity College. The film’s score, by Michael Dress, has not had a release.
QUACKSER FORTUNE died at the box office. Years later, in 1981, after Wilder's huge success in STIR CRAZY, the distributor 21st Century re-released the film under the title FUN LOVING, to no better effect.
Margot Kidder had her first recurring role in a network television series when she co-starred with James Garner in "Nichols", a light-hearted western, set in 1914 Arizona. Garner played Nichols, a drifter who returns to his hometown and reluctantly becomes the sheriff. Kidder played Nichols' girlfriend "Ruth," a barmaid at Salter's Hotel. The show debuted on NBC on Thursday, 16 September 1971, and struggled opposite "Longstreet" on ABC and the "CBS Thursday Night Movie." A move to Tuesday, opposite CBS's #28-rated "Cannon," did the show no favors, and "Nichols" was cancelled after 24 episodes.
In the made-for-television western THE BOUNTY MAN, bounty hunter "Kinkaid" (Clint Walker) leaves town to capture a $5,000 reward by getting "Billy Riddle," played by John Ericson. He spirits Ericson away from a ghost town/criminal hangout, but also gets some extra baggage in the form of Ericson's girlfriend, "Mae" (Margot Kidder). John Llewellyn Moxey directed the film, which aired on ABC on 31 October 1972. The music was provided by Murray MacLeod, James Prigmore, and Jerry Riopelle, who collectively formed a music group called "The Orphanage."
Margot Kidder and Jennifer Salt were roommates in Southern California in the early 1970s while they were struggling performers. They held parties for their friends and neighbors who included Paul Schrader, Blythe Danner, Bruce Paltrow, and Brian De Palma. One year at Christmas, Kidder and Salt opened separate boxes under their Christmas tree and each one contained the script to SISTERS. The project was De Palma's gift to them.
In that 1973 thriller, Kidder played model "Danielle Breton," and Salt played "Grace Collier," a columnist for the small Staten Island Panorama newspaper. One day, Collier, who lives in an apartment across the way from Breton, believes she sees a murder committed in Breton's apartment. Brian DePalma directed the film, which gave Margot Kidder her first lead role. Bernard Herrmann's score was released on an Entr'acte LP and was re-issued on CD by Southern Cross in 2001.
even though she followed Phyllis C who's still around but Miss Neill did the Kirk Alyn ones, n'est-ce pas?
