Best known for playing Lois Lane in the 1940's and 50's, Noel was originally a pinup model ranked 2nd behind Betty Grable. Noel was also a professional singer and dancer.
In 1948, Noel appeared as Lois Lane for the first time in the Superman film serials, and again in 1951's Atom Man vs Superman, alongside Kirk Alyn as Clark Kent/Superman. Then, from 1951 to 1958 she starred alongside George Reeves' Superman in the Adventures of Superman tv show.
After the show ended, Noel's career continued through the character. She played Lois Lane's mother in one scene of 1978's Superman (when a young Lois notices Clark running alongside the train). She also played the role of Gertrude Vanderworth in the 2006 film Superman Returns.
Now, onto the autograph! In the early 2000's I wrote a fan letter to Noel, and shortly after I received this terrific, inscribed 8x10 colour photo of Noel as Lois Lane, alongside George Reeves' as Superman.
Gold!!!
