Superboy's Stacy Haiduk Greets Fans From Chicago

By Barry Freiman

I had the great pleasure yesterday, August 18, 2010, of interviewing Stacy Haiduk, Lana Lang on the 1988-1992 television series “The Adventures of Superboy”. The interview will be appearing soon on both the Superman Homepage and the Superboy Homepage. We spoke at length about her time on “Superboy” as the only cast member to remain with the series for its entire four-season run. Stacy was still a teenager when she got the role of Lana Lang. We met while she was here in Chicago filming an episode of “Ride-Along” for Fox-TV.

After the interview on an outside patio at the Chicago Institute of Art, Stacy and I spent several more hours talking informally. It was during this time I asked if she’d be willing to film a brief greeting to the members of the Superman and Superboy Homepages. Yes it is true – I directed Stacy Haiduk in a brief scene. As you can probably tell, we did this in one take.

Stay tuned to the Superman Homepage in the days to come for the full interview with photographs. Thanks to Sam Rizzo the owner and editor in chief of the Superboy Homepage for setting the interview up.

Superboy & the Legion of Superheroes Toy Line From Mattel

A brand new toyline which is highlighting Superboy & The Legion of Superheroes is coming on the horizon from Mattel. Now that Superboy is back in the comics, its seems that DC is putting out more and more with the Boy of Steel. Here is a photo from Toyfare Magazine of the new Superboy figure which looks very reminscient of Gerard Christopher's portrayal from Season 2 of the Adventures of Superboy. The padded shoulders in the cape look very John Bryneish from the mid eighties.

You can purchase this latest Toyfare magazine at your local comic book shop or by clicking here.  

Superman Writer Tom Mankiewicz Passes Away

The Hollywood Reporter reported that Tom Mankiewicz writer of Superman I & II passed away on July 31. He was 68. As a screenwriter Tom Mankiewicz was instrumental in helping to bring the Man of Steel to the big screen.

Upon learning the news of the death of Tom Mankewicz, Ilya Salkind immediately called Dick Donner because he knew how close Dick and Tom were. Ilya's official statement is the following:

"I am deeply saddened by the premature and sudden loss of one of the best writers I've worked with, Tom Mankiewicz. He was an extraordinarily talented and gifted writer who's involvement in Superman I and II was essential. He was also a very kind and loving person that will sorely be missed. His great mastery writing film screenplays made working with him an unforgettable experience. He had a great sense of humor, and wit,and was a lovely person to work with. He also, of course, had a tremendous unique gift writing film screenplays. I can only wish my most heartfelt condolences to his family as well as all the many friends that he had and that loved him."  - Ilya Salkind (Executive Producer, Superman I-III)
