They wait until I take them off my list and *then *they keel over. :mad:

1584

Wasn’t Phyllis Coates, the first Lois Lane on television? (Don’t always believe what you read in those obituaries).

1585

Link for Phyllis_Coates.

Jefferson died in 1826

1587

Jefferson died in 1826. Same day as Adams.

1588

Yeah, it wouldn’t let me edit after noticing. Sometimes I type fast and don’t check for accuracy before posting

1589

1926 would have been more impressive.

wolf_meister. From the following obit.

The distinction of being the original Lois belongs to Joanne Siegel, who as a teenager in the mid-1930s posed for the cartoonist Joe Shuster when he was first developing the Superman comic with the writer Jerry Siegel. Ms. Siegel died in 2011.

In 1952, when “Adventures of Superman” was created for television, another actress, Phyllis Coates, was cast as Lois, along with George Reeves as Superman. But after one season, Ms. Coates left the show and Ms. Neill stepped into the role, where she remained until the series went off the air in 1958.

So Ms. Neill was number Lois number 3 (number 2 on TV).

The following is a great tid-bit in the obit.

“Ms. Neill’s Lois normally went to the office and on assignment in proper suits, little hats and pearls, despite the likelihood that she would end the day tied to railroad tracks, trapped in a cave or in some other form of deadly peril, until she was saved by her hero.”

Priceless.

fourple post -server delay or something. Anyway, he’s dead Jim.

1596

I’d a rumor that Sydney Schanberg, the Pulitzer Prize-winning New York Times correspondent best known for his raw, gripping coverage of Cambodia’s fall to the Khmer Rouge, had died at 82.

Can anyone confirm?

1597

That’s the wrong Sydney Schanberg. The one who just died was the Pulitzer Prize-winning NYT correspondent who was best known for his raw, gripping coverage of Cambodia’s fall to the Khmer Rouge. He was 82.
