Phyllis Coates (born Gypsie Ann Evarts Stell)
{January 15, 1927 – October 11, 2023}
Trailblazing actress who played the original Lois Lane in the 1950’s TV series “Adventures of Superman” Although she rarely worked after 1970, she did make a cameo as Lois Lane’s mother
(alongside Teri Hatcher as the reporter) in an episode of
Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman. Her other guest spots over the years included shows like Death Valley Days, Gunsmoke, The Patty Duke Show, Perry Mason,
and The Untouchables
Oh no! Had no idea she was still alive. She was a benchmark for Lois Lane’s that have followed!
