The actress was the first person to play the Daily Planet reporter, starring alongside George Reeves in the 1950s TV show.

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. 

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.
