So many people are just a bit crazy. Proof of concept. I was a kid watching Superman's Adventures on black and white television. I think there's a generational gap when people are this mean and heartless. Maybe someone will mourn their passing one day, but with such trolling attitudes, she' or he will probably die miserable and alone. It's the internet, trolls are unhappy, sad people who hate everything, it seems. And here we are...may she rest in peace, Noel. As for "Carolyn", best to ignore at this time. Some people will post anything obnoxious, just for attention. Give it no further thought. The majority are human and kind here. And that's the rub, seriously. Peace.
On the "Tomorrow Show" with Tom Snyder in 1978, Jack Larson, Noel Neil and Robert Shane were on the show. Jack Larson stated that he did not believe George Reeves committed suicide. Because, Kellogg's had renewed for 26 more episodes and Reeves was getting married and was going to direct a movie. Reeves also had the part of the detective in the movie Psycho.
Almost sixties years ago and even today I still watch reruns on Superman and the American Way, maybe if we still had programs like these on television today. Wok would be died and we would still be energy independent and respecting our history and our elders. God Bless the U.S.A. and thanks for Superman.
I was surprised to see and hear how much Jack and Noel sound almost exactly the same as they did during the Superman TV series. Their voices haven't changed all that much. Superman is often copied but never as good as the original.
Even here & after decades of not working together, you can feel their chemistry & true appreciation for George Reeves, the show & each other. Those voices & their laughter still warms the heart & brings a tear to the eyes. Rest in Peace & the Love your fans will always have for all of you.
It's wonderful how Jack's smile and exuberance in this interview hadn't changed at all despite significant age. I see and hear the spunk that gave Jimmie Olsen his charm. Just wonderful. Same with Noel. I see and hear Lois Lane; rather, I see and hear Noel's spirit and charm that infused the character of Lois Lane. This interview made me very happy. RIP both!!!
RIP to those 2. You folks and George are together again... I was born in 1980 and when I 1st saw that Superman show, I completely Loved it!! Thank God for NIck @ Night, I love those shows that was on before I existed!! RIP to my dude Adam West aka Batman to. One Love.
One of my favorite scenes was Lois Lane(Noel Neill) and Jimmy Olsen in the office picking heavy flat weights between the pages of a phone to prove Clark Kent was superman. They left the office, Clark came in and saw through or felt the weight of the phone book then he removed the weights. Jimmy & Lois now back in the office sitting down realize if Clark picks up that phone book with ease they've got him. So Lois asked Clark "Will you please hand me the phone book?" Clark says "sure here Lois" as he tossed it at her lap and she screamed.
How sad they both passed away a year apart...Jack Larson passed away at age 87 in 2015 and Noel Neill passed away at age 95 in 2016. My they both RIP, two pioneers, two extraordinary people who had talent beyond measures. They were legendary and iconic pop-culture phenomenons during their time....They were Real Stars during the Golden Era of television. RIP Noel Neill 1920-2016)🌟❤📺🎬 RIP Jack Larson 1928-2015)🌟❤📺🎬 Two real Goats 🐏🐏
@@kevinmadden1645 That's interesting; I've never heard that before. It does however fit in with Larson's description elsewhere of Reeves as light-hearted and funny. The guy Larson described just doesn't seem the kind to kill himself so apparently casually.
@@pp312 Larson probably knew the truth but made up the suicide stuff as a way to cause less controversy. He acted in a cowardly manner in my opinion as he always stuck by that (fiction) story.
@@chrisnalina1755 I'm not sure about "cowardly". He simply had no evidence and could see no point in dredging all that stuff up again. It might also have cast a poor light on Reeves, which I'm sure he didn't want to do.
@@pp312 It was cowardly if he knew the truth and promoted a lie. Telling the truth is the right thing to do regardless of putting anybody in a poor light.
Okay, throw rocks at me if you want to, but women simply aren't what they were in the '40s, '50s, and even '60s anymore. They've lost something, and I have no idea what it is. A particular kind of dignity, maybe? I just don't know.
One of My favorite episodes was when they went back in time, caveman days. Lois comes out in a little cave woman outfit. She had some really nice legs.
Although I preferred Phyllis Coates as Lois and the first season of the series over the rest, Noel Neill was a better fit for the other seasons, which got more light-hearted and humorous. (I believe that the entire series went from 1951 to 58.)
The contract for a new season is not a good news for him since he was very afraid to be typecast as Suyperman for ever and never find a good part ever. This is a reason for him to get drunk and after killed himself.
i believe he did kill himself. it just people don't want to believe it. i don't think he planned to kill himself. he was drinking, then went to his bedroom, and his fiance said he was going to play a dangerous game of russian roulette. i think he finally lost, and that cost him his life.
Poor Superman, done in by a jealous Hollywood executive. Read "Hollywood Kryptonite: The Bulldog, the Lady, and the Death of Superman" (1996) by Sam Kashner & Nancy Schoenberger .
I m worried Jimmy Clark keeps telling me he s superman. Lois you know how confused he gets in a phone booth. I think it s claustrophobia. Jimmy I m just worried superman will get mad at him and stop saving us. Lois you know superman. It s a bird. It s a plane. Able to leap buildings in a single bound. He turned back time for us. Yeah. Superman doesn't wear glasses or carry a briefcase. I know Clarks not Superman.
When George Reeves appeared on I Love Lucy as Superman the end credits read special guest Superman. The damn show didn't show his actual name George Reeves. No wonder the man was frustrated with the superman role.
In a sense, they never really ended their connection to Superman. She was in the first Christopher Reeve Superman movie, playing Lois Lane's mother, and the last dramatic film appearance for both was in Superman Returns.
It seems that Jack Larson never toured with Phyllis Coates only Noel Neill. And it seems Phyllis and Noel never toured either. I really think Phyllis and Noel didn't like each other, that's my impression.
