Happy Birthday Phyllis Coates!
by Armand Vaquer
Actress Phyllis Coates was born in Wichita Falls, Texas as Gypsie Ann Evarts Stell.
She moved to California in 1941. Shortly afterward, Gail Getterman, a producer at MGM changed her name to Phyllis Coates. Mr. Getterman thought the name Phyllis sounded rather classy, and the name "Coates" came from the sign on a passing truck.
Among Phyllis's first works are Ken Murray's Blackouts in 1943 and 1944, but she is best remembered as Lois Lane (top photo) during the first season of the Adventures of Superman and the pilot movie, Superman and the Mole Men. She shared star billing with George Reeves.
