The name Margot Kidder instantly conjures up two images—feisty reporter Lois Lane and a headline-grabbing manic episode. In both cases, the Canadian-born actress blazed a trail for others to follow in her path.
Many actresses like Amy Adams, Teri Hatcher and Kate Bosworth have since occupied the role of Superman’s special gal, but none have managed Kidder’s warmth and frazzled charm. As for the public dose of crazy, there’s no shortage of celebrities whose mental meltdowns ended up as tabloid fodder. Of these instances, few have weathered the PR crisis with Kidder’s grace.
In the 90s, Teri Hatcher starred alongside Dean Cain in Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman, a show where she played the sexiest version of Lois Lane to date. Complete with cleavage, lingerie and her sexy long legs.
