Happy Birthday, Noel Neill!

Tomorrow, besides being Thanksgiving Day, is Noel Neill's (the ORIGINAL Lois Lane) 90th birthday.

Thankfully, Noel is still with us to enjoy her birthday. She's had a mixed year. Earlier this year, she took a fall and banged herself up. Then, this past June, she took part in the unveiling of the new statue of herself as Lois Lane in Metropolis, Illinois not far from the Super Museum. Unfortunately, she took a bad fall that fractured her hip several weeks later.

After weeks of recuperating and therapy, she is back at home and is finishing her mending in the company of her fibreglass cow (that she bought earlier this year) that stands in her dining room.

The sad part of her injuries, besides the pain she had to go through, is that she has to put an end to her personal appearances. The blessing is that she was still in demand.

It is remarkable that despite everything, she has made it to 90 and she's still sharp as a tack!

I, for one, am grateful that I've been able to meet her and get to know her a little.

Happy Birthday, Noel!
