Jim Holt, the owner of The Adventures Continue website dedicated to the show, said Neill died at her home in Tucson, Arizona, on Sunday after a long illness. Neill was born in Minneapolis but travelled to California after high school where a job at the Del Mar racetrack led to a contract with the Paramount movie studio. After a series of small film roles in the 1940s, she was borrowed by Columbia Pictures to make 15 episodes of a comic book-based series about the Man of Steel. ::snipping3:: The show hit the air just as television was becoming a social force and became a favourite of generations of children, with a long life through reruns.
