Margot Kidder and Christopher Reeve in Superman.
Getty ImagesMargot Kidder, the Lois Lane to Christopher Reeve's Superman, reportedly died peacefully in her sleep on Sunday at the age of 69.
The internet had a few things to say about her passing, and will undoubtedly have more. We'll update this story with the best remembrances we spot.
On-screen she was magic.

Off-screen she was one of the kindest, sweetest, most caring woman I've ever known.
I'll miss you #MargoKidder.

I saw SUPERMAN in the theater when I was six, and I had an instant crush on Lois Lane. I remember thinking how lucky Superman was to hang out with her. Margot Kidder was the coolest. Rest in Peace. pic.twitter.com/piQ11a0PBm

Sad to hear of the passing of Margot Kidder. A spark of vivacious life in all of her films. I loved her in cult horrors 'Sisters' and 'Black Christmas'. And of course she remains the best Lois Lane in the magical 'Superman' & 'Superman II'. RIP to a unique screen presence. pic.twitter.com/bQEVv7PSa3

Black Christmas appears to be another favorite:
Most people remember her as Lois Lane, but the essence of Margot Kidder to me is her salty, mischievous sorority sister in BLACK CHRISTMAS. She brought a little danger with her. pic.twitter.com/Stwur7OETm

RIP Margot Kidder. One of my favorite movies of hers is the original Black Christmas. It introduced some elements that are now genre tropes and she’s fantastic in it.

RIP Margot Kidder. People are going to wax poetic about her Lois Lane, but man, for me, her turn in Black Christmas is an all-time horror performance.

Kidder is also being remembered for her struggle with bipolar disorder:
Margot Kidder should be remembered as much for courageously, candidly discussing her battles with mental illness as for any screen role.

There are no Supermen— or women. It is not a character deficiency to acknowledge such struggles and get the help and treatment you need!

Her Lois Lane appears to have been a career-starting role model, too:
Superman was cool, but Margot Kidder’s Lois Lane made you want to grow up to become a reporter. pic.twitter.com/tOAnG9B5tD

When I was young Margot Kidder was the epitome of a cool chick to me. Then I got a chance to direct her. She was all that. But she was also so kind and fun and sweet and talented and professional. I hope she found peace in her life. I wish her family and friends all the best.
