Phyllis Coates, who also starred with George Reeves in the first Superman feature film, was 96
Phyllis Coates, a woman who had a five-decade career in show business that started in the ‘40s and ran all the way until the ‘90s—with her famously being the first person to play iconic comic book character Lois Lane on television—has died. This comes from The Hollywood Reporter, which says her daughter confirmed that she died of natural causes at the Motion Picture & Television Country House And Hospital in Los Angeles this week. Coates was 96.
According to THR, Coates once explained that she was paid about $350 for each episode and that they’d sometimes film “four or five” at a time, which meant she would just wear the same suit and hat in each one. Like the movie, the show was also a hit, but when it came time to make a second season, Coates turned down an offer to return—even for “four or fives times” what she was getting paid—so she could sign on to a different show that ended up not going forward.
