Farrah Forke, “Mayson Drake” on Lois & Clark, Has Died

Actress Farrah Forke, who played the memorable role of “Mayson Drake” in Season 2 of Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman, has passed away at only 54 years old. She died February 25 of cancer at her home in Texas.

Named after the two lead characters in Perry Mason, Mayson Drake was one of the things to get in the way of a potential Lois and Clark relationship in the show’s second season. Her final moments on the show were a bit of a memorable shock to those who have seen it. Despite playing a character who got in the way of our favorite couple, Forke’s performance was viewed favorably by audiences.

Forke’s other credits include Wings, Mr. Rhodes, and the original Party of Five; she also voiced the DC character “Big Barda” in Batman Beyond and Justice League Unlimited. She will be missed.
