Superman - Superman Actress Sues Financial Advisor

SUPERMAN radio star JOAN STANTON is suing celebrity financial manager KENNETH STARR, accusing him of losing tens of millions of dollars of her money.

The actress - who voiced the role of Lois Lane on the radio in the 1940s - claims she turned to Starr for advice after her husband died and left her $70 million (GBP35 million) in his will.

A lawsuit, filed on Tuesday (15Apr08) at New York's Supreme Court, alleges he misled her and plunged her money into risky investments.

But Peter Parcher, a spokesperson for Starr + Co., claims Stanton's assets "grew considerably" during her 20-year relationship with the firm.

He says, "It will become clear during the course of this litigation that Mrs. Stanton was well-advised."

Starr's former clients include Sylvester Stallone, Wesley Snipes and American news anchor Diane Sawyer.
