Christopher Reeve was born in 1952 in New York. At the age of eight, he was passionately involved in acting and starred in his first school play.
From 1978 to 1987, Reeve starred in four Superman films, which inspired him to take part in good causes. Unfortunately, in 1995, he got so severely injured while riding a horse that he almost gave up all hope if it had not been for his wife’s support.

In 2004, Christopher Reeve passed away.
