Additional info: As far as Teri Hatcher is concerned, until she landed Desperate Housewives in 2004, it was widely considered that her career was on the decline after Lois & Clark. Prior to this, she was probably most notable for her work in the Radioshack commercials with Howie Long.
- Lane Smith, who played Perry White on Lois & Clark died of Lou Gehrig's Disease in 2005.
- Mark Pillow, who played Superman's nemesis in Superman IV never had another prominent role again. I believe that Superman IV is one of only two of Marc Pillow's acting credits.
- Richard Lester, who was the credited director for Superman II and directed Superman III entirely, effectively retired from filmmaking after making The Return of the Musketters in 1989. Lester was distrught because he apparently, felt partially responsible for the death of actor Roy Kinnear, who died during after falling of his horse.
- The much detailed production problems surrounding Superman II and Superman IV can also be included in the "curse."
- Marlon Brando, who played Jor-El in Superman: The Movie had several personal tragedies later in his life. Most of them involved his children like his daughter's suicide and his son being convicted of murder.
[edit] Questionable statement
"Those who don't believe in the curse should consider that although both Bud Collyer and Teri Hatcher did gain fame after their Super assoiation but the former died at an early age of 61 which is uncommon for a rich man in the United States."
Uncommon for a rich man in the United States? It's not uncommon for anyone to die at 61, no matter how much money you make.
A rich man is more likely to live longer than a poor man or a middle class man because he has more money than them,giving him access to a healthier life (good food,excercise programs,clean home etc.)Nadirali 15:34, 24 November 2006 (UTC)Nadirali
