As you may have heard, Joanne Siegel — the wife of Superman co-creator Jerry Siegel — has died at the age of 93.

Some said she was the model for Lois Lane, eventually if not at inception. She certainly had the courage and strength to face the deadliest menaces Lois ever encountered. That was in addition to the obvious beauty and charm. If you never met her, you missed meeting someone very special. If you did meet her…well, you know.

I want to write something longer about her but I think I need to collect my thoughts and finish a script that's due first. In the meantime, here's a link to a newspaper report.
