Noel Neill was the first live action Lois Lane appearing with Kirk Alyn in the Superman movie serial. She then got the gig for Lois Lane in the Aventures of Superman season two with George Reeves as Superman. She's been in Superman the Movie as Lois Lane's mother, Superboy the TV series, and recently as the old lady that Lex Luthor rips off in Superman Returns.

Here career started in the 1940's so I guess you could say her early Superman work was before all of our times, but that's why they have reruns and DVDs. I like old TV shows myself. I grew up watching reruns after school in the afternoon like Batman, Gilligan's Island, Rifleman, Munsters, Superman, etc. __________________
