Heroes & Villains The DC Animated Universe - Paper Cut-Out Portraits and Profiles

Lana Lang

Lana Lang grew up in Smallville and was a childhood friend of Clark Kent.  Inspired by her love of the ‘Darci Doll’ toy collection, Lana went into fashion design and ultimately became a smashing success. Lana’s couture line, Lana Lang Fashions (or LL for short) was world renown and she had signature shops in Metropolis, Gotham, Paris and Milan.  

Lana and Clark had briefly dated in high school.  While their romance did not last, the two remained close friends and Lana was later abel to deduce Clark’s secret identity as the heroic Superman (although it was a secret she kept to herself).   

Lana Lang’s celebrity status, combined with her great beauty, caught the attention of Lex Luthor.  He sought her out and began a romantic relationship. Unlike many of his other dealings, their relationship was genuine; Luthor actually cared for Lana and expressed great gratitude when Superman rescued her from an attempted kidnapped.

When Lana discovered Luthor’s criminal dealings, she saw it as a possible opportunity to win back Clark’s affections.  She acted as spy providing Superman with information regarding Luthor’s various schemes.  Superman tried to dissuade Lana from playing this dangerous game, but it was of no use.  Mercy Graves (who was fiercely jealous of Lana) suspected her of being a spy for Superman. Mercy was finally able to provide evidence on the matter and an angry, heartbroken Luthor ordered Lana be assassinated.  

Superman rescued Lana from a deathtrap and she was finally convinced to break things off with the villain.  Lana returned to her life as a fashion maven and periodically assisted Superman by providing alibis that enabled him to maintain his cover as Clark Kent.

Actresses Joely Fisher and Kelly Schmidt provided the voice for Lana Lang, with the intrepid heroine first appearing in the second episode of Superman: The Animated Series, ‘The Last Son of Krypton, Part II.’

SAG/AFTRA and WGA Strike on the National Day of Solidarity

It was another day on the picket line as SAG/AFTRA and the WGA continue their long-running strike against the AMPTP. The fight for a fair contract and better pay rages on even as it looks as if no end is in sight. But, then again, it was not really another day as this was the National Day of Solidarity which not only brought these two unions together, but many others including the AFL-CIO, IATSE…

The cast and Grey were also joined on stage by Cabaret��composer John Kander.

Alongside Joel’s daughter Jennifer Grey and Kander, a star-studded crowd came out to fete the theater icon including Anderson Cooper, Candice Bergen, Jackie Hoffman, Jane Krakowski, Lin-Manuel Miranda, David Rockwell, and more. They were joined by numerous alum of Cabaret spanning the decades including Maude Apatow (Sally Bowles in London, 2023), Madeline Brewer (Sally Bowles in London, 2022), Joely Fisher (Sally Bowles on Broadway, 2000), Gina Gershon (Sally Bowles on Broadway, 2001), Mason Alexander Park (Emcee in London, 2023), Adam Pascal (Emcee on Broadway, 2003), Molly Ringwald (Sally Bowles on Broadway, 2002), Jake Shears (Emcee in London, 2023), and Brooke Shields (Sally Bowles on Broadway, 2001).
