      Amen. Christopher Reeve was a true Man of Steel for his courage after that horrible equestrian accident in 1995.

    Thank you Christopher Reeves for your flight for stem cell research. Over the last year or so I had a lot of problem walking because of a severe fracture in my ankle. When I had surgery again last May I had a stem cell transplant in my ankle bone. Because of the stem cells my ankle grew back to normal and I've been able to walk with no pain again. I'm so happy to walk and be out of a wheelchair. Christopher Reeves had a lot to do with that and I am so grateful and a big advocate for stem cell research. You weren't just Superman on the screen you were a Superman in real life

    The greatest actor of his generation and no one can ever play Superman as good as Christopher Reeve did. He made us believe a man could fly. My favorite character and actor of all time.
    He was also in his heart and mind a REAL Superman

      Man of Steel DOES NOT mean hard strength beyond ordinary humans. It includes soft compassion and perseverance. Sad whoever directed latest MoS fail to understand this

    Thank you, Christopher Reeve! Not only for your portrayal as the most iconic superhero of all time, which is the best interpretation of Superman, but because you inspired most of us and prooved us that a human being can be of steel. We love you Chris and we will always remember you as the real MAN of STEEL. RIP Christopher Reeve.

    God bless this gentle giant; He was genuine spokesman for research in spinal cord injuries. Now he is free of a wheelchair and can fly forever. God bless you Christopher for your contributions to the advancement in the study of stem cells; I'm sure those who unfortunately suffer daily and who had no prospect of ever walking again, can now look to your story for strength and hope! May you fly forever Christopher with the angels!

    This underscores the invaluable importance of good health over money. Many people often assume invincibility until life's realities confront them. Avoid greed and never take anything for granted. Cherish every moment by assisting others, as nothing truly belongs to us in this world. Rest in peace.

    Long will Christopher Reeves be remembered for his demeanor as an actor and a gentlemen. I shall never forget his portrayal as Richard Collier in the movie "Somewhere in Time' with Jane Seymour.
    That movie has haunted me as the absolute romantic love story I have ever watched and the accompanying music was simply out of this world. May Chris R.I.P. and may God bless him.

      Soumyadeep Dhar, thank you for the kind compliments Soumyadeep Dhar. Many thousands more, like you and myself, must have loved the Movie‘Somewhere in Time’ and you know what, it is in recognition of Christopher Reeves & Jane Seymour for the sterling roles they portrayed in this hauntingly & unforgettable movie and what a tribute to both Chris and Jane. It remains etched deeply in my heart and in the deep recess of my mind. Once again, thanks most profusely for your kind words.

    Good evening, everyone.
    Today is Thursday, October 10, 2024.
    It was twenty years ago today that we lost the actor who provided the greatest cinematic interpretation of the Son Of Krypton.
    He may no longer be here yet Christopher Reeve is now and always will live on courtesy of the legacy he created for himself onscreen as well as the accomplishments he made, especially after he was no longer able to have the use of his whole body.
    Yet, he didn't let himself sulk in bitterness and self-loathing.
    Instead, he strived to give everyone who was in his predicament a second chance to enjoy moving again.
    What an extraordinary man he was.
    Farewell, Kal-El.
    Good work, Clark Kent.
    Thank you, Superman.
    🥹👏👏

    Spinal-cord research has gone nowhere despite billions of dedicated dollars.
    It is a ruse to give wheelchair-bound injured people any hope of ever walking again.
    Charles klKrauthammer MD, a spinal- cord injury victim, once said it's irresponsible to think that spinal-cord injury research is making any progress.
    Krauthammer said it was a cruel joke to make spinal-cord injury victims believe they could ever walk again.
