September 3, 2001: Annette O'Toole TV Guide Interview
Annette O'Toole was recently interviewed by TV Guide about her role as Martha Kent in "Smallville", and her re-occuring connection with the Man of Steel. Below is an excerpt from the TV Guide interview:Superman Babe Returns to Smallville
Annette O'Toole's last-minute casting as Clark Kent's mom Martha on the WB's promising new drama Smallville brings her career full circle: The 47-year-old actress played Kent's high-school crush Lana Lang in 1983's Superman III. Jokes O'Toole to TV Guide Online: "Maybe I'll be Lois Lane's grandmother next."
All kidding aside, the red-haired beauty -- whose recent small-screen credits include the USA Network series The Huntress and CBS's Nash Bridges -- admits there are far worse things than being forever linked to such a popular franchise. "I love Superman," she confesses. "As a kid, I read all of the comic books. I was always drawn to it. And when I was Lana Lang, that was a huge thing for me." Still, she adds that one dream remains unfulfilled: "I didn't get to fly... I really wanted to be able to fly. I'm still not flying [in Smallville], but I'm still with Superman."
