Priestley: Margot Kidder ‘ beautiful spirit’

Canadian actor Jason Priestley is remembering the late Margot Kidder as “a beautiful spirit.” Priestley, whose series “Private Eyes” begins a new season May 27 on Global, worked with Kidder in the films “Common Ground” and “Chicks with Sticks.” Kidder, who was born in Yellowknife, died Sunday in Montana at age 69. She was known for playing Lois Lane in the “Superman” film franchise in the late 1970s and ’80s. “I did have the good fortune to work with Margot twice on two different projects — one here in Toronto and one in Calgary,” Priestley, who was raised in Vancouver, said in an interview. “Margot was beautiful and Margot was a beautiful soul and a beautiful spirit.”
