Noel Neill

November 9, 2003: Noel Neill Featured in Baltimore Sun Newspaper Article

The Baltimore (Maryland) Sun newspaper published an article titled "Feminism, boys' crushes and the original Lois Lane" in their November 8, 2003 issue all about Noel Neill. The article also includes quotes from me (Steve Younis) as the author of the article emailed me a few weeks ago asking me a few questions about Miss Neill. Here's an excerpt from the article...

[Noel] Neill is touring the country with her biographer, Westminster native Larry Thomas Ward, whose Truth, Justice, & the American Way, chronicles the original Lois' life from birth to quiet retirement. The two are scheduled to appear at Barnes & Noble in Towson at noon today.

When Neill agreed to play the tough investigative reporter in the 1948 serial film Superman, she saw Lois as just another part, one of 15 film roles she would take on that year. She said that even when she had finished her run as Lane in the late 1950s, she didn't quite get how closely people associated her with the character.

...

"She brought a vibrance and a personality to the character," Steve Younis, who runs a Superman Web site, wrote in an e-mail. "Her portrayal of a head-strong working woman was revolutionary for its time and she became the role model of many a young girl."

Younis said he met Neill at a Superman convention this year in Metropolis, Ill.

"Her charm, humor and infectious smile warmed the hearts of every Superman fan, both young and old," he wrote.
