I'm so excited today, as I just received two autographed pictures of Phyllis Coates as Lois Lane. Ms. Coates played the character in Superman and the Mole-Men (1951) and the first season of Adventures of Superman. She was technically Hollywood's second Lois Lane, as Noel Neill portrayed the character before and after her.

I wrote Ms. Coates a few weeks ago, requesting an autographed picture for my little Lois. To my surprise, she sent two - one for me and one for my daughter! What a classy lady. I am definitely putting her on our Christmas card list this year!

Here are scans of the photographs:





In case you can't tell, the second one reads, "Much love to Little 'Lois Lane'." Isn't that awesome?! What a great collector's item. I'm so grateful, as is my Lois:
