Does Actress Margot Kidder Resemble Kirk Douglas & Jim Carrey? Tough Guys (1986)
Superman (1978) actress Margot Kidder may resemble Kirk Douglas & comedian Jim Carrey. The connection comes through 1986 gangster movie Tough Guys. Douglas had a part in this alongside Burt Lancaster. Carrey reportedly auditioned for the part of Richie, eventually played by Dana Carvey.
Connections:
The Dion Brothers / Gravy Train (1974) included Kidder, opposite Stacey Keach, his character refers to Kirk Douglas several times in the film.
Jim Carrey was the Riddler in Batman Forever (1995). I believe Batman TV series (1966) actor Frank Gorshin may also resemble Douglas. DC Comics publishes the Superman and Batman comic books.
Kidder was in Brian De Palma's Sisters in 1973. His next movie, Phantom Of The Paradise (1974) has a Superman reference (girl rehearsing wearing a Superman T-Shirt) and "Kidder" reference in the staircase audition scene.
