“Superman” actor Valerie Perrine has died. She was 82.
Filmmaker Stacey Souther confirmed his friend’s death in a Monday Instagram post that links to a fundraising page to afford the performer “the farewell she deserves.”
Perrine was perhaps best known for her role as Lex Luthor’s personal assistant Eve Teschmacher in 1978’s “Superman” and its 1980 sequel “Superman II.”
According to Souther — who made a 2016 documentary about Perrine called “Valerie” — she battled Parkinson’s disease for 15 years before dying in her Los Angeles home “surrounded by love.”
“She was a serious actress who happened to possess the beauty of a goddess — and Hollywood rarely knew quite what to do with that combination. But audiences always did. They loved her without reservation,” Souther wrote.
RIP Valerie Perrine

RIP Valerie Perrine
I may not have gone where I intended to go, but I think I have ended up where I needed to be.

I remember her from Slaughterhouse-Five, Lenny, W.C. Fields and Me, and The Electric Horseman, in addition to the Superman films.

Re: RIP Valerie Perrine
If you look north on this map from Superman, you’ll see the area marked as Teschmacher Peaks. Nice.
