July 11, 1977: New York: Director Richard Donner spends the morning at the Daily News building in New York filming Christopher Reeve as Clark Kent in front of the Daily Planet saving Lois from the fruit cart fall intended for SUPERMAN II’s opening scenes. Later that afternoon Donner would film the scenes of Lois landing in the cart.
Stunt Performer and actress Ellen Bry would double as Lois Lane and execute the fall.
Bry is probably best known to comic fans as Julie Masters in THE AMAZING SPIDER-MAN tv series and films of the 70s.
After attending a meeting at the Daily News building, Mayor Abe Beame meets and greets for a photo op on the street with cast members Reeve and Kidder.
Due to Donner’s termination and restructuring of the sequel, this sequence would not be seen until 2006 with the home video release of SUPERMAN II THE RICHARD DONNER CUT.
