Can't believe "The Superman's Lois Lane" is dead:

By the time she stepped into her teenage, she was already one of the most photogenic models in the town. She would rise to prominence when she landed the role of Lois Lane in Superman (1948) and Atom Man vs. Superman (1950). She had appeared in diverse productions of the Superman franchise often portraying the role of the parent or relative of leading characters. The Superman franchise includes Superman feature film (1978), TV series Superboy, a 1980s tv series and Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman, the 1990s primetime drama and the 2006 film Superman Returns.
