Elva Mai Hoover

Elva Mai Hoover is credited in two feature films from the late 1970s and early 1980s. Hoover appears as Mother in Superman II, a 1980 superhero film produced by Dovemead Films and distributed by Warner Bros. In Equus, a 1977 drama directed by Sidney Lumet and based on Peter Shaffer’s play, Hoover is credited as Miss Raintree. Both roles are minor but documented in the official credits of their respective productions.

The scope of Hoover’s credited work is limited to these two titles. No additional film or television credits have been verified in available records. Hoover’s contributions align with character acting in mainstream English-language cinema of that period.
