In Williamstown, Massachusetts, Superman actor Christopher Reeve marries actress and singer Dana Morosini in 1992.
Christopher D'Olier Reeve was an American actor, director, and activist best known for his role as Superman in the 1978 film Superman and its first three sequels. Reeve met his future wife Dana Morosini, a singer and actress, in June 1987. They were living together by 1991, but Reeve couldn't bring himself to commit because of his parents' painful divorce and other failed marriages in his family. Reeve went to therapy for about a year after they almost divorced, primarily to talk through his fears about marriage. "I just put down my fork and asked her to marry me," he said one night during dinner. They married in April of 1992.
