The Superman Super Site and The Super Museum are pleased to announce the official launch of the Noel Neill Statue website: (www.noelneillstatue.com)
In 2005, The Metropolis Chamber of Commerce, Metropolis Illinois, the Home of Superman, announced the formation of "The Noel Neill Statue Committee".
The committee's sole purpose is to spearhead and oversee the construction of a life-size bronze statue of Noel Neill as "Lois Lane" to be placed in Metropolis, Illinois.
The idea is to acknowledge Noel's contributions to the Superman Celebration as the "First Lady of Metropolis" and her portrayal of Lois Lane in the Serials and the TV series of the 1950s, "The Adventures of Superman" with an honorable and permanent gesture of love from the citizens of Metropolis and from her countless fans around the world.
The concept was presented to Noel at her 85th Birthday Party held in North Hollywood, California and, with Noel's blessing, a competition for the design of a Noel Neill as Lois Lane statue was thrown open to Sculptors everywhere!
Pictures of the 2 foot size scale model of the winning sculpture were unveiled at the 2008 Superman Celebration in June 2008.
Commemorative bricks that will be placed around the statue are now on sale for $75.00 a piece.
The revenue from all bricks and commemorative plaques will help pay for the sculpting and the placement of the statue which will be in close proximity to the existing Superman statue.
The six foot, bronze Noel Neill Statue is scheduled to be completed and unveiled during the 2009 Superman Celebration in Metropolis, Illinois.
Visit the Noel Neill Statue website for more information on the statue including pictures of the scale model, commemorative brick ordering information and a letter from Statue Committee Chairman, O.D. Troutman plus much more.
