That was probably the late Margot Kidder.

Margot also appeared in Superman IV: The Quest for Peace.

This is a difficult one for me, as a kid I preferred Noel Neill's version of Lois Lane, as an adult I preferred Phyllis Coates. I think Coates is a better actress, she did a great job detailing the character.

To be honest in the past I have crushed on both of them. I'm going with Noel though, partly because she played the role longer, including one of the movie serials that pre-dated the TV series. When she was looking her best she was quite a hottie.

Here's Noel as Lois, with Kirk Alyn as Clark Kent, 1948:



She had SUCH a pretty face, and I absolutely love her longer hair at the time!

Noel Neill herself, was actually in the first Superman film with Christopher Reeve. It's a very brief role as Lois Lane's mother with Kirk Alyn as Lois' father as passengers on a train.
