When I reference Margot Kidder, you stare blankly....Why?

Known for her relatable performances as Lois Lane in the first four "Superman" movies and as the Long Island mother terrorized by a demonic pig named Jody in "The Amityville Horror," Margot Kidder spent much of the Seventies and Early-80's as one of Hollywood's most sought after starlets.

Her behavior sometimes seemed to border on self-sabatoge. Outspoken support of Jane Fonda and feminism were viewed as radical for the time. She appeared to be in inebriated for much of her hosting duties during a 1980 "Saturday Night Live." For a 1979 People Magazine cover story, Margot said this about the upcoming release of "The Amityville Horror," which was being marketed as a true story: "I suppose I believe in the possibility of many things, but I think pigs snorting in windows is taking it a bit far."

During the mid-90's, Margot Kidder was diagnosed with bipolar disorder after being discovered -- filthy and disoriented -- under some lawn furniture in the backyard of San Fernando Valley, CA couple. Prior to a brief disapperance, reports indicate Margot shaved her head and got into a fight with an ATM -- very Britney.

A period of emotional and PR rehabilitation soon followed. Margot publicly condemed her subsequent A&E Biography as sensational and largely untrue. Almost spitefully, the producers responded by transfering her episode to the retail market for sale in the "Biography" VHS/DVD collection.

In recent years, Margot Kidder has been semi-present thanks to a re-occurring part in TV's "Brothers & Sisters" and a role in the upcoming remake of "Halloween II." And of course, her sizable movie catalogue, including "The Reincarnation of Peter Proud", "The Great Waldo Pepper", "The Glitter Dome", "Trenchcoat", "Sone Kind of Hero" and "Little Treasure", among others are often replayed on late night cable.
