Margot Kidder was raised with four siblings by her parents Kendall Kidder, who worked as an explosives expert and engineer, and Jocelyn Mary Jill, who was a history teacher. She went to the boarding school Havergal College in Toronto, from which she matriculated in 1966, and then moved to Los Angeles and began pursuing her acting career.
Margot’s career began in the late 1960s, with brief roles in the TV series “Wojeck” (1968), and “Festival” (1969). In 1969, she also had a cameo appearance in the film “The Best Damn Fiddler From Calabogie To Kaladar”, however, in the 1970s, she began to earn more notable roles, appearing in such TV series as “Nichols” (1971-1972), “The Wide World Of Mystery” (1975), and in films “The Sisters” (1973), and “The Reincarnation Of Peter Proud” (1975), among others, all of which helped improve her career, and increase her net worth by a large margin.
1978 was her breakout year, landing the role of Louis Lane in the film “Superman”, alongside Cristopher Reeve. She repeated her role in the sequels “Superman II” (1980), “Superman III” (1983), and “Superman IV: The Quest For Peace” (1987), all of which increased her net worth to a large degree. After the first Superman film, Margot rose to stardom and continued with notable roles throughout the 1980s, including in such TV series and films as “Pygmalion” (1983), “Vanishing Act” (1986), “Shell Game” (1987), and “Body Of Evidence” (1988) among others. Her net worth was certainly rising.
Margot continued successfully through the first half of 1990s, until she suffered a nervous breakdown, after her autobiographical book draft was lost to a computer virus. Until then, she appeared in “White Room” (1990), “Windrunner” (1994), “The Pornographer” (1994), and “Bloodknot” (1995), among others, which also contributed to her net worth.
After her breakdown, Margot’s career was never the same again, and she only appeared in B-production films, and TV series, such as in “Silent Cradle” (1998), “The Hi-Line” (1999), and “The Annihilation Of Fish” (1999), before the new millennium.
She partly regained her fame in 2002, when she featured in the film “Crime And Punishment”, and through the 2000s appeared in such productions as “Smallville” (2004), “The Last Sign” (2005), “Universal Signs” (2008), and “3 Of A Kind” (2012) among others.
Most recently, she has found engagement in such films as “The Big Fat Stone” (2014), “No Deposit” (2015), and “The Red Maple Leaf” (2016), which have also increased her net worth.
Thanks to her skills, Margot has received several prestigious awards, including the Saturn Award in category Best Actress, for her work on the film “Superman” (1978), and she also won a Daytime Emmy in the category Outstanding Performer in a Children’s or Pre-School Children’s Series for her work on “R.L.
