Christopher Reeve and Dana Reeve (Couple)

(April 11, 1992 - October 10, 2004) (his death) (1 child)

Reeve watched a group of singers called the Cabaret Corps perform, and took notice of one of the singers, Dana Morosini. The two began dating and were married in Williamstown in April 1992.

Dana gave birth to William Elliot "Will" Reeve on June 7, 1992 at North Adams Regional Hospital in North Adams, Massachusetts.

Shortly before his accident, Reeve played a paralyzed police officer in the HBO special Above Suspicion. He did research at a rehabilitation hospital in Van Nuys, and learned how to use a wheelchair to get in and out of cars. Reeve was then offered the lead in Kidnapped, to be shot in Ireland. He was excited to be going to Ireland, and he and Dana decided that they would conceive their second child there. Reeve also planned to direct his first big screen film, a romantic comedy entitled Tell Me True. Not long after making these plans, the family went to Culpeper, Virginia, for an equestrian competition.

After ‘Superman’ star Christopher Reeve was paralyzed in 1995 in a riding accident, his devoted wife Dana stood by him despite the heartache. Christopher passed away in 2004 from heart failure, then non-smoker Dana announced she had lung cancer in 2005 and died a few months later. Although she didn’t die of a broken heart, it may have contributed to her condition. After Christopher’s accident she told him, “I still love you no matter what. You are still you.”
