Carol Forman

Carol Forman (19 June 1918, Epes, Alabama – 9 July 1997, Burbank, California) was an American actress best known for playing exotic villains in action serials, particularly Spider Lady in the 1948 Superman serial, as well as Sombra, the lead villainess in the 1947 Republic serial The Black Widow[1]. She also made guest appearances on The Cisco Kid starring Duncan Renaldo and Leo Carillo in the early 1950s. Forman differed from other serial actresses by playing villianesses exclusively. She occasionally used disguises to go undercover or pose as another character in the same manner as Batman or Artemis Gordon in The Wild Wild West TV series years later. In 1952 she reprised her serial personae in a fantasy sequence in the musical "By the Silvery Moon" with Doris Day.
