'Ms. Perrine turned in a winsome performance in the movie as the villain Lex Luthor’s moll, Eve Teschmacher, who ends up saving not only the Kryptonite-weakened superhero, but also Hackensack, N.J., where Eve’s mother lives, from a missile attack, foiling Luthor’s plot. Two years later, she reprised the role in “Superman II.”'
