One of the most popular, and most iconic series from the early days of television was "The Adventures of Superman," which ran from 1952 to 1958.

George Reeves was Superman / Clark Kent.  Jack Larson played young photographer Jimmy Olson, and Noel Neill was reporter Lois Lane. 

But, like so many TV stars, Neill saw her career take a new and unexpected path, and not necessarily the path she had planned.
