I met Phyllis Coates at a Hollywood collectors show in 2007.
I would never post the following while Noel Neill was still alive as she was a friend. Of the two Lois Lanes in the Adventures of Superman, Phyllis Coates was my favorite. Objectively, she portrayed a newspaper reporter with a steel spine and the chemistry between her and George Reeves was unmatched. Noel did an excellent job with the scripts she was given, but I thought Phyllis brought more realism and believability to the role.

While it is sad there's no remaining cast members left, but their work will live on in film for generations to come.
My condolences to the family and friends of Phyllis Coates.
