'Superman' star Margot Kidder died from 'self-inflicted drug and alcohol overdose'

Kidder’s daughter, Maggie McGuane, told the AP “It’s a very unique sort of grief and pain. Knowing how many families in this state go through this, I wish that I could reach out to each one of them.”

Kidder is best remembered for playing Lois Lane opposite Christopher Reeve in the Superman films. The Canadian-born actress had long been open about drug and alcohol addictions, which she said partially triggered her very public breakdown in 1996. The screen icon was equally open about her bipolar diagnosis.

When speaking about her lifelong struggle with mental illness, she told the Los Angeles Times, “I knew I was different, had these mind flights that other people didn’t seem to have. And I had deep depressions.”

Strange town. And tougher than it looks.

“Kidder was the Montana State Coordinator for Progressive Democrats of America. Kidder was named the host of a dinner event by the Yellowstone County Democrats in Billings, Montana called “Billings for Bernie” in support of Bernie Sanders’ presidential primary bid. She was a Canadian who did not become a US citizen until 2005.”

Liberals love to leave the crapholes they helped create, move to non-crapholes and try to make them into the place they just fled from.

There are many others like her who have come off drugs, alcohol and depression successfully and stayed clean and well, for whatever reasons they give for the addictions that end their life. So what part of don’t do drugs did she not understand?

“The insidious manner in which ‘opioid’ ie pill dope and methamphetones have deeply penetrated mostly middle and working class mostly white American communities is a very big deal that no one really wants to address.”

Is it a more insidious manner than how drugs penetrated urban and minority communities?

Liberals love to leave the crapholes they helped create, move to non-crapholes and try to make them into the place they just fled from.

They also love to push their “values” onto everyone else even though they are completely screwed up themselves.

She was amazingly attractive in her prime...she was also bat $hit crazy.

Urban dope dealing was identified over a century ago as a significant law and order and public health issue. While the old BODDN spent to much time and money on self serving propaganda drug trafficking and epidemic use had been pretty well contained to a few urban areas. Starting with the 60’s the dam broke in ways we still don't fully understand. However, events such as the crack plague were heavily if sensationally reported. None of that has been the case with what I alluded to. Methanpedomene problems are acknowledged but the scope and penetration never really focused on. The ‘opioid’ pill addiction has been handled the same way until recently when the media has realized there are sensationalistic assets for them in reporting it. In passing I believe that the usual suspects of the ‘ethical drug’ business, certain government agencies and corrupt police are at the bottom of the massive availability of these drugs just as was/is the case with crack.
