TUCSON — The actress who was the first to play Superman's love interest, Lois Lane, on screen has died. Noel Neill was 95.

Neill's biographer Larry Ward tells The Associated Press that she died Sunday, July 3, at her home in Tucson, Ariz., following a long illness.

Neill first took on the role as the Daily Planet reporter in the Columbia movie serial “Superman” in 1948. She reprised the part alongside George Reeves in the TV series “Adventures of Superman” in 1952 (the show had debuted the previous year with Phyllis Coates in the role). Neill stayed on until the show ended in 1958.
