Whoa. I hadn't heard this one.

I am surprised she was still around. Seems like she had a tough go of it.

 

[GasBandit]

She had a bad bout with drugs and mental illness, but then managed to get back clean of it in the 90s (IIRC). But yeah, there was a lot of wear and tear in there.

Damn. She was Lois Lane to anyone who grew up with Christopher Reeve's Superman.

 

[Celt Z]

Awww, that's really a shame.

Local news twitter calling her "the original Lois Lane." Noel Neill would like a word.
