1. Nothing But Cameos for Aging Actors in Later Years
For the 1978 Superman movie, the movie starring Christopher Reeve (no relation to George) as Superman, both actors who played Lois Lane’s parents were throwbacks to the Superman brand. Lois’ father, played by Kirk Alyn, was the first actor to play Superman on screen. Noel Neill, who played Lois in the ’50s, was a too mature to reprise her role. But, she was a perfect fit to play Lois’ mother. Neill would appear one more time in a Superman film, playing the bad guy, Lex Luther’s wife in 2006. In 2013, she voiced Lois Lane for a video, Superman, and the Secret Planet.
