Noel Neill Appeared in Various Superman Incarnations
Noel Neill played Lois Lane in the 1948 film Superman and 1950 film Atom Man vs. Superman before joining The Adventures of Superman during its second season. She played the role for five seasons until the series was canceled in 1958. While her predecessor Phyllis Coates tried to distance herself from the role, Neill embraced it.
During the ’70s she toured college campuses and talked about the show. She later appeared in various guest spots in the 1978 film Superman, the 1980s TV series Superboy, the 1990s television drama Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman, and the 2006 film Superman Returns.
