The Adventures of Superman; The TV Series You Never Knew

9. Lois Lane 2.0 Enjoyed Being Lois

When Phyllis Coates left the role of Lois Lane due to her fears of typecasting, Noel Neill scooped up the opportunity. Her sentiment about the role was the opposite of Coates’. Whereas Coates feared typecasting and shunned the association, Neill embraced it. She’d already played Lane in two movies, Superman and Atom Man vs. Superman, which aired in ’48 and ’50 respectively.
