She then appeared in Brian De Palma's thriller film ''Sisters'' (1973), ''Black Christmas'' (1974), and ''The Great Waldo Pepper'' (1975).

Kidder recalled her childhood in northern Canada, saying, "We didn't have movies in this little mining town. When I was 12 my mom took me to New York and I saw ''Bye Bye Birdie'', with people singing and dancing, and that was it. I knew I had to go far away. I was clueless, but I did okay."〔 Kidder attended multiple schools through her youth, and graduated from Havergal College in 1966. She has a sister, Annie, and three brothers, John, Michael and Peter. Kidder's niece, Janet Kidder, is also an actress. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Margot Kidder」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
