Supergirl is Better Than Ever

Best Actress to Date to Take on the Role

In the newest season of the CW's hit television series, Smallville, Laura Vanderwoot has joined the cast as Supergirl, or more accurately Kara Zor-El, cousin of actor Tom Welling's character of Clark Kent, future Superman and star of a great ensamble cast that includes Michael Rosenbaum, Allison Mack, Kristin Kreuk, Erica Durance, and Julian Glover. Former big parts of the cast included former Bo Duke of Dukes of Hazard fame, John Schneider, who played Clark's father Jonathan, and former Lana Lang opposite Christopher Reeve as Clark Kent/Superman in one of the final installments of the movie franchise before it was given a new birth with Brandon Routh in Superman Returns, a decent entry in its own right, and, although Michael Rosenbaum by far plays the role of villain Lex Luthor best of any actor in history, definitely Kevin Spacey's portrayal of Luthor outshines talented actor Gene Hackman's run with the character in the 1970s and 1980s. But back to the basis, the new Supergirl, Laura Vanderwoot, the beautiful, blonde from Toronto, Ontario and is, at only 23 years old a veteran actress of small parts in CSI, The Dresden Files, Falcon Beach, Doc (with Billy Ray Cyrus, in 2004), Mutant X, and other one or several episode shots since 1997. She also really knows her stuff in fight scenes, because she has a black belt degree in karate.
