Wow...  I remember watching those Superman TV shows when I was a kid.  RIP Noel...

[crazyjim]

I remember her.  Rest in Peace.

I too remember her. R.I.P.

So how many "Supermen" did she outlive? I can think of at least two.

Three actors appearing on film and/or television: 

Kirk Alyn, George Reeves and Christopher Reeves.

Also Bud Collyer.

I didn't include him, and others, who were radio actors, models for Fleischer Studios or appeared as Superman at the 1940 World's Fair.

I just saw one of the last smiling pictures of her at a very advanced aged; if you knew who she was, you'd say she aged well.

Not too shabby for 90+...

Saw her at an Arizona area Comicon in 2008, real nice lady.

George Reeves was the ONLY superman, just like Sean Connery is the only Bond, James Bond, Clayton Moore  & Jay Silverheels the Lone Ranger & Tonto.

George Reeves was the ONLY superman...

I agree.

Just as Adam West is Batman. Period.

BTW... on a recent episode of Jay Leno's Garage, Jay and Adam West went through a fast-food drive through... in the Batmobile! It was pretty cool...

Oh, I dunno. I kinda dug Michael Keaton. His "I'm Batman" line is just classic.

I remember George Reeves Superman reruns when I was a kid. R.I.P. Noel..

I saw that show too, Harry.  Pretty cool. Jay Leno has a lot of cars and even has full time employees taking care of them.  Leno doesn't live in Illinois though, so toys like old cars are easier for him to afford.
