in Smallville: Season 9, Smallville: Season 8, Smallville: Season 7

an American actress, dancer, and songwriter. She is most recently known for portraying Martha Kent, the mother of Clark Kent on the television series Smallville. She had a recurring role on the television shows Nash Bridges (1996) and starred in her own series The Huntress (2000).

She starred in the TV movie Keeping the Promise as Anne Hallowell, Matt Hallowell's mother. Annette O'Toole portrayed Lana Lang in the 1983 feature film Superman 3. On November 22, 2010, Annette O'Toole played the role of Veronica; a middle aged woman suffering from severe case of Alzheimer's, in season 3 episode 7 of the TV series Lie to Me.

In retrospect, O'Toole can date the beginning of her songwriting career to events during a car ride after the September 11 attacks; as her husband Michael McKean describes it, "On September 11, 2001, Annette found herself without an airline to carry her back down to Los Angeles from Vancouver, where she films Smallville. So she drove a rental car down. The two of us drove it back up together, and on the long drive up there, somewhere between Portland and Seattle, she told me she had a tune in her head." The "tune in her head" became "Potato's in the Paddy Wagon", one of three songs the couple wrote for A Mighty Wind, including the Oscar-nominated song "A Kiss at the End of the Rainbow." O'Toole sang "What Could Be Better?" — a song she and her husband co-wrote — for the 2004 Disney children's album A World of Happiness.

In May–June 2005, the couple did a cabaret act for "Feinstein's at the Regency" in New York City. On July 7, 2007, O'Toole appeared as a backing singer for her husband's fictional band Spinal Tap at the London leg of the Live Earth concerts. She has also performed on the band's 2009 Unwigged and Unplugged tour.[.
