Noel Neill - the uncredited elevator operator

I'm watching The Big Clock for the first time. About 6 minutes into the film, there was a scene inside an elevator of a large building. Although there was approximately 7 people inside the elevator, I immediately noticed the attractive female elevator operator even though her back was turned towards the camera. Then when she turned around and spoke, I was surprised to realize that she was Noel Neill. I thought she was cute when I first saw her appear as Lois Lane in The Adventures of Superman series on televsion in the 1950's. But in this movie, va-va-va-voom!!! A little research reveals that today she is 90 years old!

Check out the photo below and you will see what I mean.

I just watched this for the very first time and I caught her right away. It was her voice, so familiar to Superman fans. Her hair was dark and longer but definitely her!!!!

Yep spotted her right away.
I didn't see Ruth Roman as a secretary. And I just deleted it?

Ruth Roman?????

Not a big surprise. Neill was a Paramount contract player, and can be seen in a lot of that studio's films of that era.

Hmmm.... I thought someone said Ruth played a secretary? Maybe I confused this with another thread..
