Christopher Reeve

    25 september 1952 – 10 oktober 2004

    Deze acteur, opgeleid aan Juilliard, vestigde zich aanvankelijk op het toneel voordat hij een iconische filmfiguur werd. Zijn carrière omvatte diverse filmgenres, van romantiek tot thrillers, naast klassieke theaterproducties. Later in zijn leven wijdde hij zich aan vurig activisme en filantropie, met name voor de rechten van mensen met ruggenmergletsel en ter ondersteuning van medisch onderzoek. Zijn nalatenschap wordt gekenmerkt door immense moed, belangenbehartiging en een diepe toewijding aan het verbeteren van het leven van anderen.

      Through his leading role in the three Superman films, Christopher Reeve became so closely identified with the superhero that he wasn't just seen as the actor who played Superman, he was Superman.

      Still Me
    • NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • The legendary star of Superman and author of Still Me reflects on the power of hope and the limitless potential in each of us. “Graceful, persuasive . . . A reflective mixture of policy advocacy, personal philosophy, and candid self-observation.”—The Philadelphia Inquirer Christopher Reeve has mastered the art of turning the impossible into the inevitable. In these candid reflections, Reeve shows that we are all capable of overcoming seemingly insurmountable hardships. He teaches us that for able-bodied people, paralysis is a choice—a choice to live with self-doubt and a fear of taking risks—and that it is not an acceptable one. Reeve knows from experience that the work of conquering inner space is hard and that it requires some suffering—after all, nothing worth having is easy to attain. He asks challenging questions about why it seems so difficult—if not impossible—for us to work together as a society. Thoughtful and inspiring, Nothing Is Impossible reminds us that life is not to be taken for granted but to be lived fully with zeal, curiosity, and gratitude.

    • The Waveney starts as a shallow stream between Lopham in Norfolk and Redgrave Fen in Suffolk. The counties are united by its waters which gather strength among marshland and meadows, medieval towns and villages, churches, manors and castles, finally surging into the Sea near Great Yarmouth. This book describes and illustrates this beautiful valley.
