Superman's original Lois Lane actress Phyllis Coates has sadly died at the age of 96. The Hollywood actress starred alongside George Reeves in the TV series Adventures of Superman, and was the first person to portray the feisty newspaper reporter on-screen in the 1951 film Superman and the Mole Men. The popular TV series, which was black and white, became an instant favourite among fans and propelled the characters sky-high with many more renditions of the DC comic books story to come.
The sad news comes as Phyllis's daughter Laura Press shared a statement with The Hollywood Reporter. She confirmed that her mum died on Wednesday 11 October, where she was residing at the Motion Picture & Television Country House and Hospital in Woodland Hills, California. Adventures of Superman saw Phyllis portraying Daily Planet journalist Lois Lane in 1952.
The actress was paid around $350 per episode, an enormous wage at the time, according to THR, and due to the constraints of the business, sometimes four or five episodes were shot at the same time.
As a result, the star was regularly told to wear the exact same outfit during filming - a suit and hat. Unfortunately, she ended up leaving the show prematurely after just one season as a result of issues with her other projects. After a falling out with the show's producers, Phyllis departed and Noel Neill continued in her place.
Sadly, the show was canned altogether when George died in 1959. Phyllis was born in Wichita Falls, Texas, on 15 January 1927. The star started her career in Hollywood in the early 1940s, when she became a chorus girl, going on to tour with the United States Organisations and entertaining the US Armed Forces.
