Those who wondered whatever happened to "Name's The Same" panelist Joan Alexander, who was also the voice of Lois Lane on the Superman radio show with Bud Collyer, she is still alive at age 90, and is making the news in New York because her financial adviser apparently squandered away a $70 million inheritanace of hers from her late husband, and she's now suing him.

Sounds like a job for Superman
Great Caesar's ghost! The original Lois Lane says she's been swindled out of tens of millions of dollars by a real-life Man of Steal.
In papers filed in Manhattan Supreme Court, Joan Alexander Stanton, 90 — who was the voice of Superman's reporter gal on the 1940s radio show — says she's the victim of a "Producers"-like scheme masterminded by financial-adviser-to-the-stars Kenneth Starr.
Starr — no relation to the Whitewater prosecutor — has had problems with well-known and well-to-do clients in the past. Action stars Sylvester Stallone and Wesley Snipes have accused him of mismanaging their money.
Starr's lawyer, Peter Parcher, said Stanton's assets "grew considerably" while his client was working for her and that the suit will be "vigorously defended."
Stanton's suit said the actress, who also voiced Lane in the 1960s Superman cartoons, hooked up with the moneyman in the late 1980s, after her husband, auto big Arthur Stanton, died, leaving her his $70 million fortune.
The suit seeks a full accounting from Starr, as well as millions in compensatory and punitive damages.
