NOT SO SUPERGIRL



Laura Vandervoort
Of Course the casting of a Comic Book hero is not always about acting ability. I've always thought of Supergirl as a character created solely to appeal to people like Comic Book Guy in The Simpsons; a dumb blond stereotype with a cape.

In a way Kara Zor-El, Kal-El's cousin otherwise known as Supergirl is an air headed character and the Movie & TV versions have actually captured her vacuousness quite well.
In fact 1984's Supergirl is a masterpiece of kitsch with performances from Peter Cook, Peter O'Toole and Faye Dunaway that have to be seen to be believed.
