From Lana Lang to Ma Kent

Today is Annette O'Toole's 50th birthday. Currently playing Martha Kent on "Smallville," O'Toole is a self-professed Superman fan who starred as Lana Lang opposite Christopher Reeve's Clark Kent in Superman III: The One Hackman Wouldn't Touch. Having always shown wholesomeness wth a pinch of mischief, as does Duke boy John Schneider, O'Toole now shows a nurturing quality perfect for the role of Martha.

O'Toole is married to "Laverne & Shirley" pal Michael McKean, who guested on "Lois and Clark" as a leering Luthor lackey, and recently had a great turn on "Smallville" as the younger Perry White.
