Maybe Chris took his method acting too far. There is always that possibility.

Everyone has a good and bad side, how they handle it is the thing.I don't really judge anyone but if someone ask me. I am not going to lie about.If people can't handle the answer don't ask the question.

No, I don't think it is required at all. If I thought that, I would be downright insane.
Believe me, there are some people that I get along with in my line of work and some that I don't.
Like I said, I think it is surprising that Christopher Reeve was like that to some people. He seemed like a decent fellow, to me.
Obviously, he had a bad side to him that no one knew about.

That is why somethings should just be left alone. Instead of beating something to death. It is what it is and leave it to that, no one is purposely out to hurt anyone.I don't know of anyone who has a perfect day everyday.

Maybe it's because some people are shocked that Christopher Reeve was rude to some people. They never imagined that he was like. Sometimes when a person has this image that many are used to, and they reveal a side to them that many never imagined possible, it can be quite surprising to that many people.

What is so hard to believe, when someone is truthful about something. Does everyone in life have outstanding relationships with everyone they meeet or work with. Life is what it is why can't people just leave it alone.

I appreciate your honesty Mr. O'Halloran. I find that is one of the reasons for my respect of you.

I just wanted to commend you on having the decency to speak your feelings on a subject that many probably lambaste you for. I love the first 3 Superman films (the third just for the Kent vs. Superman fight and Annette O'Toole's Lana Lang.) I loved Non as a child also. I have always felt it ridiculous that people are expected to lie about their feelings toward someone just because they're dead. Again I commend you for being real yet as respectful as possible. Lastly, thanks for Emil Muzz in Dragnet.

you are so obviously talking about David Prowse! lol
we all go a little mad sometimes.

I've heard so many stories and conflicting information about Chris, that it is hard to sift through the facts, and determine which is factual and which is not.
We may never know the full story. All I can say is this: like all people, Chris obviously got along with some people and some he did not.
Despite that, we shouldn't let that tarnish or ruin our image of Christopher Reeve.
Yes, he was a human. But, he was still a Superman to many.

It really is a shame to hear how Chris Reeve treated some people in real life. I once asked an actor and proffesional trainer (who shall remain nameless) about working with Reeve, and I kid you not, he called him a "sack of beep
He more or less said that Reeve was cool the first few weeks of working, but once he put on the suit, he became extremely arrogant. As a huge Superman fan who always heard great things about Reeve, I was kind of turned off when I heard how he acted on set. He was only human, and God knows I still admire his portrayal of Superman, and the way the pulled through after the accident.

Yes sir it has!! And the weather is still great. If I could go back in time and tell myself in 81 that I'd actually be talking to you I'd fly to the moon! And you have a great holiday too Mr. Halloran!

Hi Paul,
Thanks for droping a line and you kind comments.I use to live in San Diego in the early 70's. It has truly changed over the years.Have a GREAT HOLIDAY!

Again Jack, you are so refreshing about Chris and the films. You say it like it is and that is a rare thing these days. I live in San Diego CA, do you ever come down here to do work? Also I just wanted to add that when Superman II came out here in early summer of '81 I saw it with my brothers in New York because my family and I were going on the Queen Elizabeth II to Southampton UK. And the movie was being played on the ship as well! I loved the fact that since the movies on board were free I absolutely took total advantage of it. One scene that always cracks me up is when you were testing your heat ray vision and that kid is watching you! Thank you for answering fan questions,
Paul C.

I speak to Marc McClure and Margot Kidder,Jeff East and of course Richard Donner.There are several crew people I still run into once in a while.

Jack O'Halloran

Jack i've heard that you are still friends with Terence Stamp and Sarah Douglas but is there anyone else from Superman whether cast or crew you still speak to.

Donner wanted to make the best film he could and his vision involving Superman was brilliant.Producers greed is what spoiled the Superman films. How do you take Brando out of a film piss off Hackman and remove a great Director.
Superman IV was all about money with no consideration of the fan bas1c84e.How do you let a company like Cannon do a film like Superman. Please understand the reputation of Cannon spoke for itself.

Very sorry I haven't answered this earlier.You are correct that if Donner would have completed his dream with the Superman series the fans would have been in for a great treat.

Well, that does shed some new(if not unpleasant)light on Chris and his involvement in the production of the first two films. In all honesty, it depicts him as either a Judas type, someone with an ego problem, or just someone who did not want to get caught in the maelstrom of studio politics.
I can't really say, since I don't know all of the circumstances.
Either way, I can definately sympathize, let alone, understand your bitterness and resentment. I would have fought 'hell and high water' to have Donner stay on as director. If I had been in Chris's place, I would have stood up for Donner, no matter what.
Which brings me to some questions that I have been formulating since our correspondence from yesterday.
Was Richard Donner aware of Chris just taking the money and letting Lester come on board? It seemed to me that he and Chris had an excellent working relationship, judging by those same interviews I had seen both of them in.
And why didn't Mr. Don111cner have Richard Lester banned from the set, like he did the Salkinds? I mean, from what I have read, Donner had the power to have the Salkinds removed. Why didn't he just wield that same authority on Lester? Let's face it, Richard Lester had no business being involved in the two productions, let alone being allowed on the set. Regardless of whether or not the Salkinds owed him a picture. Honestly, if the Salkinds hadn't screwed up the way they did with Lester, I don't think the fan base for Superman would have been betrayed.
I didn't realize that Richard Donner had wanted to work on 10 Superman films. I'm with you on Donner's involvement of the films. Judging by his excellent work on the first two movies, they would have been spectacular.
