June 22, 2013: Margot Kidder Talks Lois Lane Role and "Man of Steel"

by Neil Cole

Actress Margot Kidder is a featured guest at this weekends Supanova Pop Culture Expo 2013 in Sydney, Australia.

Known for her role as Lois Lane in the 1978 film, "Superman - The Movie", Kidder spoke during a Q&A session about working on the film and with the late Christopher Reeve.

"We were like family [..] Some days we would be telling each other stories, other days we'd snap each other's heads off!," said Kidder. "They would put these wires on us and pulled us along on a track. I actually thought it was really fun... until it started to hurt your crotch! Christopher was the nervous one; he would start sweating from nerves and it was the sole job of this poor guy on set to grab a blow-dryer and dry his pits between takes."

In regard to "Man of Steel", Kidder spoke fondly of Amy Adams interpretation of the Lois Lane character and Henry Cavill's role as Superman.

"Oh, I got to see Amy Adams the night before I got here in Montana and she’s really, really terrific. [...] When I played Lois, she would go gaga for Superman and then revert to being smart and dismissive to Clark. Amy played it smart the whole way through. [...] And that hunky Henry [Cavill]... I'm too old to do anything about it, but I can still look!"
