I’ve only done San Diego, with its crowded fast pace, so charming stories like this seem more hard to come by nowadays. Thanks for sharing!

Yeah, Noel looks amazing. I didn’t realize she was a pin-up model in WW II until recently. I’ve seen some of those pin-ups now and wow! Yes, she must’ve given Grable some major competition.

And she can still step into the part of Lois Lane. Larry Ward (who’s spent years going around with her to conventions) told me that Noel was asked to play the part of Lois in a revival radio show awhile back. He was used to Noel’s regular speaking voice. But, as Noel spoke into the microphone, the hairs on the back of Larry’s neck stood up. It wasn’t Noel’s voice. It was Lois Lane’s. Not too surprising maybe since she’s an actress. But for her to just let the years drop away and become Lois again is pretty neat.

I had her picture on the inside of the lid of my foot locker during the war. Better looking than Grable.

Wow, she’s as beautiful as ever. One of my favorite horror movies as a kid was Roger Corman’s LIttle Shop of Horrors. I now get to count the original Audrey as a good friend. So I know what a thrill it is to meet those childhood b&w faves. Here’s to many more years of conventions for Ms. Neill. PS. Love LAST KISS!

What a great opportunity! And she’s still got style, just the way Lois Lane always should! I ran home to watch the reruns too, but in particular I remember getting up early later on when I was at the University of Washington, annoying my roommate when I’d turn on the TV to watch the same episodes (even though I’d make sure the volume was very, very low). That was decades ago, and she STILL reminds me about that.

Hi John, After reading about your meeting with Noel Neill (the actress who played Lois Lane on the Superman show) I was just amazed to see that she was easy to recognize after all these years as the young “Lois” and it was really nice to scroll down to see that “Yes” indeed it really was her and she still looks great. Me and my brothers and sister (all baby boomers) used to rush home from school in the afternoons to get “square eyes” watching the old Superman reruns amongst the many other enjoyable American exports on our black and white TV . It was just magic.

Australian TV relied a lot on American TV re-runs in those days and gave us good memories of those times, sometimes I think I’d love to meet up with some of the actors from the various series like that but it’s almost as good when somebody else does it and writes about it. Keep up the good work. Cheers, Lesley M.
