NEW YORK (AFP) - Dana Reeve, the widow of "Superman" actor Christopher Reeve, has died of lung cancer, according to the foundation she founded with her late husband. She was 44.

"Dana will always be remembered for her passion, strength and ceaseless courage that became her hallmark," Lewis said in a statement.
