Failed Superboy Spin-Off
After the show ended in a tragic and unexpected way, with the death of Superman actor George Reeves, producers still attempted to keep the Superman “universe” alive. Several years later in 1961, a pilot was run called the Adventures of Superboy. The idea was to attempt to recapture the magic that audiences loved about the original Superman. Superboy was being played by Johnny Rockwell and another character was introduced named Lana Lang who was played by actress Bunny Henning. The pilot just failed to be anything to write home about and it was never picked up, however the characters did live on in future years.
