It's probably stating the obvious, but of the two greatest Lois Lanes ever, Phyllis Coates will always be number two, because her model-correct looks and tone of voice projected a cruel beauty without warmth. Noel Neill, on the other hand, while shapely in her own right as well, also had the most vital ingredient for the part - a girl next door sweetness behind the hard-working reporter image. Eyes to get lost in, and a truly caring heart. You can't find all that in the average pinup gal.
Always a smile on her face. Nice to see she is still getting out at over 90 years old now. Thanks for the pictures - they bring back a bunch of memories.
Great tribute slide show ! I particularly liked the lesser well known early photo's of her doing modelling and western's; plus the " Sky Dragon " pictures. Regards.

Wow I always wondered what Noel did before SUPERMAN and these rare pics really help to illuminate that question - you did a great job!
