Joanne Siegel’s Hard-Fought Battles

Tagged:

It was sad news to hear that Joanne Siegel, wife of the late Jerry Siegel, who cocreated Superman, passed away last month. She was a remarkable woman, and reportedly the inspiration for the fiesty, hard-hitting Lois Lane, the one and only earthwoman who could conquer Superman's heart. But this weekend brought a new column by Nikki Finke showing just how much of a fighter Joanne Siegel really was, even as she was in her early 90s and suffering from several health problems. Click the link to see a letter from Joanne detailing her many battles, particularly as she fought to get what she was owed for the very valuable property of Superman. Rest in peace, Joanne.
