Above, Noel Neill and George Reeves.Larry Thomas Ward, Noel Neill's biographer/manager, provided an update on her health:
Dear Friends,
As an update regarding Noel's health, I am happy to report that her hip fracture has healed. She can now gingerly walk with assistance - mostly with a walker - but continues to be in constant danger of falling. She does walk with a noticeable limp. She has, however, developed other serious health concerns - most notably severe arthritis in both hips - that will not be healed as quickly, if at all.
Just so you know, Noel's personal appearance days are now over. At this time, Noel remains in her Tucson home, enjoys the 85 degree Fall weather, and seems to take pleasure in watching television, reading the newspaper, and reading mail from fans and friends. She has 24-hour supervision and is receiving superior care and attention.
Attached, please find a pic of Noel and her cow, a life-size fiberglass dairy cow that she took a liking to and purchased a few months ago. It took two of us to both load and unload this little gal out of my pickup. The photo was taken earlier this year. Noel loves her cow, which is now "lounging" in her dining room, of all places.
Noel continues to be smilingly unpredictable.
Larry
As some of Noel's fans don't have Facebook accounts, here's the photo of Noel and her cow:
Special thanks to Steve Brant for passing along the good news!

That is great news! I hope she continues to be well. I grew up in her neighborhood in the Central High
School area and although I'm not in
my 80s my dad also worked at the
Star Tribune newspaper in the 50s.
So, I fell a little like Noel!
(Except without the looks and the
talent).
Thank goodness that this grand lady is recovering. I also wish thank her on behalf of millions of fans for standing up and refusing to allow the media to slander the name of Mr. Reeves when Hollywoodland came out, or at any other time for that matter. Though Ms. Neill is a woman of short stature pnysically, she's 10 foot tall when it comes to integrity.
I just watched Supermans first films/TV, showing his out of space arrival to the farm and Lois Lane first meet. The date today is, March 23, 2016 and I would like to know of Ms. Noel Neills health. She was my first female hero and if possible, tell her she is missed. Giles MacQueen...thank you
At present, Noel is 95 and is living in an assisted living facility in Arizona. According to her biographer Larry Ward, she has her good days and bad days, like anyone else at that age. But, she's one tough lady and Ward thinks she'll live to 100.
She was thrilled over the flowers given to her for her birthday and Valentine's Day that were sent by fans.
Thanks for asking! - A.
Thank you Armand...Giles
