Forever Lois Lane
In 1978, Superman catapulted back on the silver screen with the Superman movie which starred Christopher Reeves. The film shot Christopher to stardom and made Superman a hit once again. The producers on the film decided to nod to the original series by casting one of the original stars of the television show in a cameo. Actress Noel Neill who played Lois Lane in the original showed up in the 1970s Superman. When the young version of Lois Lane is shown on the train (which Clark Kent is able to outrun), Noel plays her mother. Lois Lane’s father also has a Superman connection, played by Kirk Alyn who was the first ever onscreen Superman. Noel Neill appeared in Superman Returns thirty years later, only this time she switched to the dark side. She was cast as Lex Luthor’s wife. Wow!
