Have you seen this movie!? What catches your spying-eye radar!?
‘Supergirl’ (not to be confused with the new-for-this 2015-2016 TV season “Supergirl” on CBS) was released in the United Kingdom 07/19/1984 & failed to impress critics & audiences. This film serves as a spin-off to the ‘Superman’ series; Christopher Reeve was to cameo as Superman, but declined early on in the project. Marc McClure, however, appeared as Jimmy Olsen & is the only actor to appear in all of the ‘Superman’ series movies. The cast of this movie also includes Faye Dunaway, Helen Slater (as Supergirl), Peter O’Toole, Hart Bochner, Mia Farrow, Brenda Vaccaro, Peter Cook, Simon Ward & Maureen Teefy (as Lucy Lane). Interesting trivia: Slater (Supergirl in this movie) has appeared in CBS’ “Supergirl” as Kara’s foster mom. Supergirl’s foster dad in the TV series? Dean Cain, who portrayed Clark Kent-Superman in ABC’s “Lois & Clark: The New Adventures Of Superman” (1993-1997)!
