How ‘Super/Man’ Team Relied on Glenn Close, Robin Williams and Christopher Reeves’ Children to Help Hit Emotional Beats of Doc
"Super/Man" team relied on Glenn Close, Robin Williams and Christopher Reeves' children to help hit emotional beats of doc.

Enter editor Otto Burnham, who effortlessly weaves in archival footage and new interviews with the Reeve family, Whoopi Goldberg, Susan Sarandon and Glenn Close to hit those emotional beats.
