On what would’ve been Christopher Reeve’s 69th birthday, Google honored the late Superman actor with a Doodle on its search page.
Appreciative of the gesture, his family noted Reeve’s courage, optimism, and achievement of impossible goals. No mention was made of Reeve’s involvement with the Church of Scientology or why he lost faith in the controversial religion.

Born Christopher D’Olier Reeve in New York City on September 25, 1952, Reeve honed his acting skills at Cornell University. He moved on to the prestigious Juilliard School and various European stages before turning his talent and good looks to the American soap opera Love of Life.
Reeve started working on the New York-based soap in 1975. According to his autobiography, Nothing Is Impossible: Reflections on a New Life, ’75 was the same year he looked into (and lost interest in) Scientology.
