Actress Neva Howell plays Clark Kent's mom in the new Superman movie, set to be released July 11th.
And she has a Chattanooga connection.
Mark Gill notes, "Back in 1994, Neva taught an acting class at the Barking Legs Theatre at McCallie and Dodds. I took the class.
"She also performed a one-woman show at BLT.
Don't know how long she taught acting in town.
"If memory serves, Neva is from Northeast Alabama. Her big credit back then was a small part in a CBS movie, The Conviction of Kitty Dodds, which can viewed on YouTube. She had several scenes with actor Kevin Dobson of the TV show Knotts Landing."
