	Actors - Noel Neill

The actress Noel Neill (born November 25, 1920) played Lois Lane in more venues and instances than any other actress.

She played the role in the 1948 and 1950 Saturday movie serials with Kirk Alyn
playing Clark Kent/Superman
.
She continued to play the role in the Adventures of Superman television program (from the second season on) opposite George Reeves
.
She had a cameo in the 1978 film Superman (movie) as Lois Lane's mother (Kirk Alyn played Lois' father in the same short scene).
She also had a cameo in Lois and Clark: The New Adventures of Superman alongside Jack Larson
(Jimmy Olsen) as an office worker at the Daily Planet.
Noel appeared at the Metropolis, Il. Superman Festival. This festival was shown in a featurette on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno
.
She also has a role in the upcoming Bryan Singer
-directed film Superman Returns
.

Unlike Phyllis Coates, the first TV Lois Lane, who distanced herself from the role for the most part and eschewed public attention, Noel Neill embraced the role and exploited it graciously. She made frequent talks on college campuses during the 1970s, when interest in the series was revived, and endeared herself to her audiences with her warmth and humor.

She and Jack Larson donated their time to make commentaries for a couple of episodes on the second season DVD which was released in January, 2006. Noel remarked that a frequent question from her audience was, "How come you never recognized that Clark Kent was Superman, even when he had his glasses off?" She said her stock answer was, "Because I wanted to keep my job!"
