Noel Neill, Superman’s Lois Lane, dead at 95
Click here for reuse options!Her first appearance as Lois Lane was in the 1948 movie serial “Superman,” which showed her talent for humor. She then appeared in the sequel “Atom Man vs Superman.” The 1950s television series “Adventures of Superman,” starring George Reeves, gave her a longtime role as the intrepid reporter, and she said later in interviews that she simply played herself.
She returned several times to appear in Superman films — playing Lois Lane’s mother in the 1978 Christopher Reeve “Superman,” appearing in the “Superboy” series and in the Brandon Routh-starrer 2006 “Superman Returns.”
Neill, who appeared in more than 40 films, retired after the “Adventures of Superman” TV series ended in 1958 but was a familiar face at conventions and signings and returned for small roles in later Superman films.
