A REAL-LIFE SUPERMAN
«After the accident, Dana was told to say goodbye and people were talking about my funeral».
Not long ago, Christopher Reeve had everything. He was a successful actor,
famous for the Superman films where he starred as a Superman, a person with great powers.
But in 1995 his life changed dramatically and in 1996 he appeared at Hollywood’s Oscar
ceremony in a wheelchair.
The accident happened in 1995 when he fell from his horse and broke his back. The doctors
didn’t expect him to live. At first, he couldn’t breathe without a machine but then he
started to breathe on this own. However, he still couldn’t move and was paralyzed from
neck to toes.
From their home, Christopher and his wife Dana spoke about their life since the accident.
Did you suffer from depression after the accident?
No, I didn’t. Four days after the accident, I realized my situation. Dana and I were in hospital and the doctor said I wouldn’t be able to walk or even move. But Dana said: “But you’re still you and I love you”. And these words saved my life. Of course, I sometimes have moments of feeling sorry for myself but then I see this beautiful woman next to me and thank God I’m alive.
How did your parents react to the accident?
They divorced when I was four. I think they’ve got closer after the accident.
What are your plans for the future?
I want to help people with the same problems. I will give money to the American Paralysis Organisation. I’m going to do everything to make my life worth the chance I was given after the accident.
And he did. Christopher Reeve raised a lot of money for medical research, visited hospitals and charity organizations. He died in 2004 at the age of 52. In his life he showed himself to be a real-life superman.
