Superman Shows His Strength On The Hollywood Party Circuit!
“Superman” Christopher Reeve has hit the New York and L.A. party Circuit with an aplomb worthy of a true Man of Steel. The 26-year-old graduate of Cornell and Julliard has rarely missed a big fete in the last few months with girlfriend Gae Exton, a British actor’s agent, almost always in tow. Chris’ socializing seems a surprise; although the young man was never either a bookworm or a 90 pound weakling, he did grow up in a home that emphasized intellectual achievement, along with physical prowess. (Chris’ dad teaches at prestigious Yale University.) Studies always came first with Chris; then athletics—he’s particularly good at swimming, sailing and skiing—and thirdly came his career, nurtured on daytime t.v. and on Broadway.
You can find him at Studio 54, hot Hollywood spots or Xenon, as we did here. Chris’ two companions were unidentified, but it was obvious that all three enjoyed the music and other disco delights.
When Chris prepared for what he knew would be a blockbuster role in Superman, a life of partying must have seemed more remote to him than a hunk of kryptonite. But the once-serious, shy actor has suddenly turned into the life of the party! Chris’ easy grin, intelligently gleaming eyes and muscular physique, combined with his witty, flowing, well-informed conversation have turned Chris Reeve into the most Super Party Guest of all! He’s a super man!
Chris and Margot Kidder (she played Lois Lane) both captured the public’s fancy in Superman.
