| The character Lois Lane from Superman first appeared in 1938, and the character Lois Lane from "Kiss Me, Kate" first appeared on Broadway a decade later. I would think the first character was so well known that the name of the second would immediately evoke the comic books when the Cole Porter show hit the stage. But it seems like that would be a strange reference if it were explicit, since the KMK character has so little in common with the Superman character. Any comments on that? I'm leaning toward coincidence, but not satisfied by that answer. |
