CHRISTOPHER REEVE Christopher Reeve is most famous for portraying Superman in 1978, and its sequels, but locally is fondly remembered for his time involved with the Williamstown Theatre Festival starting in 1968, and living part-time in Williamstown. Reeve also served as the spokesperson for an Images Cinema fundraising campaign in 1989, the seat plates for which are still displayed in the Images Cinema lobby. SUPER/MAN: THE CHRISTOPHER REEVE STORY The story of Christopher Reeve is an astonishing rise from unknown actor to iconic movie star, and his definitive portrayal of Clark Kent/Superman set the benchmark for the superhero cinematic universes that dominate cinema today. Reeve portrayed the Man of Steel in four Superman films and played dozens of other roles that displayed his talent and range as an actor, before being injured in a near-fatal horse-riding accident in 1995 that left him paralyzed from the neck down. After becoming a quadriplegic, he became a charismatic leader and activist in the quest to find a cure for spinal cord injuries, as well as a passionate advocate for disability rights and care - all while continuing his career in cinema in front of and behind the camera and dedicating himself to his beloved family. JAMES NAUGHTON James Naughton is a two-time Tony Award-winning actor (City of Angels, Chicago), known for his long career on the stage and on television. He has a long history with the Williamstown Theatre Festival, having been in over 20 productions through the years, including a 1994 production of Love Letters, in which Christopher Reeve was also a part.PT2H2025-05-14Remembering Christopher Reeve"Remembering Christopher Reeve"
