Background: 

Margo Lane is the "lovely friend and companion" of both versions of The Shadow.
However, it is on the radio that she plays the greatest role in his adventures.
On radio, Lane is the only person who  knows that the mysterious crime fighter 
is Lamont Cranston, her upper-crust boyfriend.  (In the pulps, Lane is as much 
in the dark as anyone else about who The Shadow really is, although she has 
fallen in love with his Cranston persona.)  Attractive and well-bred, Lane is 
gutsy enough to accompany Cranston in his arcane investigations into crime.  
She is, however, a pre-feminist heroine.   She'll face down a crook and 
threaten dire consequences if he persists in his schemes, but it would never 
occur to her to whack him upside the head with a vase or scramble for the gun 
he's dropped in his struggles with The Shadow.  A lady simply doesn't do such 
things.

Powers and Abilities:

Personable and compassionate, Margo Lane assists The Shadow by being a 
sympathetic listener to crime victims, Police Commissioner Weston, and other 
people the sinister vigilante couldn't effectively interview himself.  Her 
kindly manner and pretty face consistently open more doors than Weston's 
search warrants.  As an active member of the city's social scene, she also has 
an excellent knowledge of people and current affairs.  While The Shadow is 
terrorizing thugs for information, Lane is gathering useful tidbits from the 
city's politicians, business people, and arts community.  She also monitors 
The Shadow's radio frequency during his investigations, waiting on 
instructions to assist personally or to call in the authorities.  One reason 
Lane is less important in the pulps is that these duties -- interviewing and 
dispatching -- are taken over by Harry Vincent and Burbank, two of The 
Shadow's agents.

Disadvantages:

Margo Lane is one of those people that strange things just seem to happen to.  
The handsome dilettante she met at the museum and began dating turned out to 
be a vigilante with a spine-chilling laugh.  Escaped convicts invariably 
choose her cab or train compartment to take refuge in.  Deranged researchers 
dabbling in Things Man Was Not Meant To Know bypass local maidens to select 
her as the perfect subject for their experiments.  If anyone's car is going to 
break down in front of the old Angelhurst mansion at midnight, it will be hers.

Height: cm (5' 5"), Weight: kg (135 lbs), Sex: Female, Race: Caucasian

Appearance: 

Margo Lane is a fashionable Depression-era society lady in her late twenties 
or early thirties with golden-brown, shoulder-length hair and expressive 
arched brows.  Her cultured speech and impeccable manners are clearly the 
product of a wealthy finishing school background.  One can easily picture her 
organizing the latest charitable function or war bond drive.  She always seems 
to know the right thing to say, which is a good thing considering the weirdos 
she regularly encounters as The Shadow's companion.
