Some distressing news arrived this morning.

Actress Noel Neil, the original Lois Lane, broke her hip in a fall.

Neill first played Lois Lane in the two Columbia Superman serials (1948 and 1950) starring Kirk Alyn and then in the Adventures of Superman television show (1953-57) starring George Reeves. She is 89.



UPDATE (7/28/10): Noel's manager/biographer Larry Ward gave the initial okay to post Noel's address, but he's since had second thoughts. Accordingly, I removed it. Perhaps a P.O. box number will be set up.
