Christopher Reeve's widow, Dana, may have lung cancer

Christopher Reeve's widow, Dana, is allegedly suffering from lung cancer, according to US reports.The 44-year-old singer, who doesn't smoke, is already said to be undergoing treatment for the deadly disease, according to America's National Enquirer. A friend told America's New York Daily News newspaper: "I don't want to talk about it. It's horrible and bizarre. I was just with her a couple of weeks ago."A spokesperson for Dana - who is head of the Christopher Reeve Paralysis Foundation - has not commented on the reports.Dana has been a widow since husband Christopher tragically died in October last year.The 'Superman' star passed away from heart failure after being paralysed since falling from a horse nine years ago.Wheelchair-bound Reeve was a virtual unknown before he shot to superstardom in the 1978 blockbuster 'Superman' - which was followed by three further superhero films throughout the '80s.The father-of-three, who has an 11-year-old son, Will, with Dana and two sons, Matthew, 25, and Alexander, 21, from a previous marriage, always found it hard to shrug of his Superman image.He revealed in an interview on America's CNN, after filming 'The Remains of the Day' in England in 1993: "It is very strange to walk into the Horse and Hound, some pub from the 15th century in the middle of Wiltshire someplace, then: 'Aye, it's Superman, here he comes!'"Copyright 2005 BANG Media International
