Dana Reeve Dies Of Lung Cancer



(CBS) SHORT HILLS Dana Reeve, who led the Christopher Reeve Foundation, named for her late actor-husband, has died of lung cancer.

Reeve died late Monday of lung cancer, said Kathy Lewis, president and CEO of the foundation.

"On behalf of the entire Board of Directors and staff of the Christopher Reeve Foundation, we are extremely saddened by the death of Dana Reeve, whose grace and courage under the most difficult of circumstances was a source of comfort and inspiration to all of us," Lewis said in a statement.

In November, Reeve said her lung cancer was responding well to treatment.

Reeve came to be viewed as a symbol of courage, along with husband Christopher Reeve, as she stuck by his side during the struggle that wound up killing him.
