Helen Slater, who made her motion picture debut in the craptastic Supergirl, will wrap-up her two episode stint as Clark Kent's Kryptonian mama Lara on tomorrow night's Smallville opposite her super-successor Laura Vandervoort and super-hunk Tom Welling.The CW series has always been great at recognizing the Super-projects of the past. The silver screen's best-known Man of Steel, the late Christopher Reeve, and ace reporter Lois Lane, Margot Kidder, have both appeared on the show in the past. The series own Ma Kent, Annette O'Toole, played Lana Lang in the just plain crappy Superman III, and super-baddy General Zod, Terence Stamp, has voiced super-daddy Zor-El throughout the series' seven-year run. Furthermore, Dean Cain, Welling's TV predecessor, also recently guest-starred this season.
This is not the first time a Superman of the present has paid homage to a Superman of the past. In the 1978 movie, Kirk Alyn (who was the last son of Krypton in two movie serials) and Noel Neill (the super-girlfriend in the classic 50's TV show) cameoed as the parents of a young Lois.
