Happy Birthday to Jane Russell and Erica Durance
Today happens to mark the birthdays of both Erica Durance and Jane Russell.
Durance is most famous around this site for her portrayal of Lois Lane on TV's Smallville, where she was an absolute highlight of the show. She's currently doing a lot of TV and TV/Film work, so who knows what she'll be in this year, but I think we can guarantee a couple of Hallmark films.
Russell is a star of the studio-era of Hollywood, and there's many books and articles about her, and you can do your own research, but you should absolutely see Gentlemen Prefer Blondes.
And, pondering Durance's early starring role, I do wonder what an A-List Superman of the 1940's and 50's would have looked like with Russell as Lois. There's any number of actors who could have put on the cape, and I always think of Ruth Roman for Lois, but Russell would have been a fascinating choice.
Anyway, keep your eyes peeled for Durance, who it looks like may have a mystery-movie series now on Hallmark.

Superman and Lois at 85

48
Did you ever want it?
Did you want it bad?
Oh my, it tears me apart
So much pride
Running through my veins
My cold little heart
Oh I, I can't stand myself
And I know in my heart
In this cold heart
I can live or I can die
I believe if I just try
You believe in you and I
In you and I
In you and I
In you and I
Did you ever notice
I've been ashamed?
All my life
I've been playing games
We can try to hide it
It's all the same
I've been losing you
One day at a time
Bleeding, I'm bleeding!
My cold little heart
Oh I, I can't stand myself
And I know in my heart
In this cold heart
I can live or I can die
I believe if I just try
You believe in you and I
In my heart, in this cold heart
I can live or I can die
I believe if I just try
You believe in you and I
In you and I
In you and I
In you and I
In you and I
In you and I
In you and I
In you and I
Maybe this time I can be strong
But since I know who I am
I'm probably wrong
Maybe this time I can go far
Thinking about where I've been
Ain't helping me start

I mean, honestly, this man is a national treasure and one of the MVPs of movies and television. Nothing he can't do or hasn't done.

Happy Birthday, Teri Hatcher
Happy Birthday to actor Teri Hatcher, who is generally just a fantastic idea, but also a vital part of the Legion of Lois Lanes. She is therefore of special note to this internet website which sometimes talks about Superman media.
Here's hoping she has a great b-day doing whatever a Teri Hatcher does.
