Judy Nugent, who portrayed one of the twins on the early TV sitcom "The Ruggles" and a girl who flies around the world in the arms of the Man of Steel on a heartwarming "Adventures of Superman" episode, has died. She was 83.
Nugent died on Thursday “surrounded by family at her Montana ranch after a short battle with cancer,” according to a family statement shared by her daughter-in-law Anne Lockhart (the older daughter of June Lockhart).
When she was 9, Nugent was hired to portray Donna Ruggles opposite Jimmy Hawkins (It’s a Wonderful Life) on "The Ruggles", which aired live from 1949-52 on ABC as one of the first TV shows to emanate not from New York but from Hollywood.
