She spelled her last name with two L's: Noel Neill.

This fact was a big deal in Superman circles in the 1960s.

My favorite show growing up! Funny how that became the Superman cast that I have since compared all the following to.

SNAFU, I think "Who is Batman to you" and "Who is Lois Lane to you" are interesting generational markers. As someone born in the late 1980s, who was a kid during the superlative "DC Animated Universe" of "Batman: the Animated Series" and "New Adventures of Superman," when I think Lois Lane I hear the voice of Dana Delaney, just as Kevin Conroy and Mark Hamill are Batman and the Joker to me. (Fans of animation and connoisseurs of voiceover artistry: was there ever a show as masterful as B:TAS?)

If I were ten years older, I'd say Michael Keaton would always be Batman to me, or that Dean Cain and Teri Hatcher were my Superman and Lois Lane.

I remembered all the Supermans from George Reeves going forward.The role is cursed for those actors for portrayed the character going forward. 2 were cursed as they died premature deaths. The rest were career deaths including Bob Holiday who did it on Broadway

She is NOT the last survivor. Phyllis Coates who played "Lois" in the first season of the show is still alive!

Phyllis always played older than Noel in front of the camera. She was six years younger!
