The appearance of Lois Lane was first based on Joanne Carter, a model that creator Jerome Siegel eventually married and Lois's personality was based on Torchy Blane, a reporter featured in some 1930 films and her name was taken from Lola Lane, one of the Lane sisters who were a singing act in the '20s and '30s.
Depictions of Lois Joanne Lane have varied since her character was created in 1938, spanning the 70-year history of Superman comic books and other media adaptations. During the Silver Age, she was the star of Superman's Girl Friend, Lois Lane, a comic title that had a light and frivolous tone. However, the original Golden Age version of Lois, as well as versions of her from the 1970s onwards, portray Lois as a tough-as-nails journalist and intellectual equal to Superman. One thing has remained throughout the character's 70-year history, however: she has always been the most prominent love-interest in Superman's life and is seen by many fans as the archetypical comic book love interest.
