The 69-year-old actor, known for roles in Superman and The Amityville Horror, has died of throat cancer. Her career was filled with blockbuster roles and unconventional choices
‘The thing about being famous is, first of all, it’s weird. The only people who get how weird it is are other famous people. So there’s this unspoken club where you go, and say to each other: ‘Oh God, if they only knew how ordinary I was, they wouldn’t be interested.’’ Margot Kidder and Beau Bridges in Gaily, Gaily1969Photograph: Allstar/The Mirisch Production Company
‘I guess I came to terms with my demons. Or else I’d be in big trouble, wouldn’t I? Horrifying as it was to crack up in the public eye, it made me look at myself and fix it.’ Margot Kidder and Bill Finley in SistersPhotograph: AIP/Kobal/Rex/Shutterstock

‘People were exploitative; that’s human nature. I’ll tell you, being pretty crazy while being chased by the National Enquirer is not good. The British tabloids were the worst. But you take the cards you’re dealt, and I got better.’ Margot Kidder and Peter Fonda in 92 in the ShadePhotograph: ITV/Rex/Shutterstock

‘I remember when we were making it I thought it was going to be a flop. A lot of it was arduous and dull. The flying I didn’t think would work either. Nothing prepares anyone for that sudden thing of being world famous, it was such a shock. It wasn’t something I really liked or something I was very good at. I didn’t realise how good the movie was until I had seen it at the premiere in Washington.’ Margot Kidder and Christopher Reeve in SupermanPhotograph: Allstar/Warner Bros
‘The energy we had was one of brother and sister, which was often bickering, that took the place of romantic energy. No one noticed the difference one from the other – it worked. We didn’t have to create a different reality.’ Margot Kidder and Christopher Reeve in SupermanPhotograph: Allstar/Warner Bros
‘What a piece of shit! I couldn’t believe that anyone would take that seriously. I was laughing my whole way through it, much to the annoyance of Rod Steiger, who took the whole thing very seriously.’ Margot Kidder and James Brolin in The Amityville HorrorPhotograph: Rex/Shutterstock/AIP/Kobal

‘With any group of people in life, sad things happen, and crazy things, and happy things. When you’re in the public eye, it’s just amplified, that’s all. There’s no curse.’ Margot Kidder and Michael Ontkean in Willie and PhilPhotograph: 20th Century Fox/Kobal/Rex/Shutterstock

‘What happened to me – the biggest nervous breakdown in history, bar possibly Vivien Leigh’s – is not so uncommon. I’ve had thousands of supportive letters from all over the world. It’s just that mine was public. If you’re gonna fall apart, do it in your own bedroom.’ Margot Kidder and Michael Riley in To Catch A KillerPhotograph: Rex/Shutterstock
