Noel Neill (born November 25, 1920 in Minneapolis, Minnesota) is an American actress. She has played Lois Lane, or characters connected with Lois Lane, in more venues and instances than any other actress.
Unlike Phyllis Coates, the first TV Lois Lane, who distanced herself from the role for the most part (Coates did appear as Lois Lane's mother in one episode of Lois and Clark: The New Adventures of Superman), Noel Neill embraced the role and exploited it graciously. She made frequent talks on college campuses during the 1970s, when interest in the series was revived, and endeared herself to her audiences with her warmth and humor.
She and Jack Larson donated their time to make commentaries for a couple of episodes on the second season DVD which was released in January, 2006. Noel remarked that a frequent question from her audience was, "How come you never recognized that Clark Kent was Superman, even when he had his glasses off?" She said her stock answer was, "Because I wanted to keep my job!"
