Phyllis Coates, Television’s First Lois Lane, Dead at 96
TVLINE yahoo.com Rebecca Iannucci October 12, 2023 Phyllis Coates, the first actress to play Daily Planet journalist Lois Lane on the small screen, has died at the age of 96. Coates passed away of natural causes on Wednesday, her daughter Laura Press confirmed to The Hollywood Reporter. The actress made her debut as Lois Lane in the first season of Adventures of Superman, which ran in syndication from 1952 to 1958. But after 24 episodes as Clark Kent’s colleague, Coates had to step away after Season 1, when sponsorship for Season 2 took too long to secure and a busy Coates was unavailable to continue in the role. She was succeeded by Noel Neill, who played Lois for the remainder of the show’s run. Prior to Adventures of Superman, Coates had played Lois Lane in the 1951 flick Superman and the Mole Men, which was the first feature film based on a DC Comics character. Decades later, in 1994, she appeared in one episode of ABC’s Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman as Ellen Lane, the mother of Teri Hatcher’s Lois. Coates’ other TV credits included episodes of The Abbott and Costello Show, The Lone Ranger, Leave It to Beaver, Perry Mason and Gunsmoke, among others. She also co-starred on the one-season syndicated sitcom This Is Alice, playing the mother of Patty Ann Gerrity’s titular 9-year-old. On the big screen, Coates appeared in such films as I Was a Teenage Frankenstein, Blood Arrow, Girls in Prison, The Baby Maker and Goodnight, Sweet Marilyn. |

Mark Goddard, Actor on ‘Lost in Space,’ Dies at 87
He played Major Don West, the hot-tempered pilot of the Jupiter 2, on the 1960s CBS adventure series. The Hollywood Reporter Mike Barnes October 13, 2023 Mark Goddard, who played Major Don West, the hot-tempered pilot of the Jupiter 2, on the 1960s CBS adventure series Lost in Space, has died. He was 87. Goddard died Tuesday in Hingham, Massachusetts, his third wife, Evelyn Pezzulich, told The Hollywood Reporter. The cause of death was of pulmonary fibrosis. Goddard had worked as a regular on the Four Star Television series Johnny Ringo and The Detectives when he was approached by his agent about coming aboard the new Lost in Space, created and produced by Irwin Allen. The sci-fi show revolved around the adventures of the Robinson family: Professor John Robinson (Guy Williams); his biochemist wife, Maureen (June Lockhart); and their children Judy, Penny and Will (Marta Kristen, Angela Cartwright and Billy Mumy, respectively). Major West also was on board, as were a stowaway, Dr. Zachary Smith (Jonathan Harris) and a robot (designed by Forbidden Planet’s Robert Kinoshita, played by Bob May and voiced by Dick Tufeld). Their space colonization mission, which began in October 1997, goes awry when their spacecraft is sent off course by the bumbling Dr. Smith. “This is about a family going into space, and there’s gonna be a lot of adventures, earthquakes …” said Goddard, recalling his agent’s pitch during an interview for Tom Weaver’s 1995 book, They Fought in the Creature Features. “I said, ‘Gee, I don’t know, I’m not sure, because of the subject matter.’ And [Goddard’s agent] said, ‘Well, listen, you just do it and don’t worry about it. Take the money. Because nobody’s gonna see it and it’ll never sell.'” Fueled by a $600,000 pilot that took 21 days to complete, Lost in Space lasted 83 episodes over three seasons, from September 1965 through March 1968. Goddard’s character mainly feuded with Dr. Smith and, like everyone else on the show, was upstaged by the robot. As Goddard wrote in his 2008 memoir, To Space and Back, when he saw himself in his tight, silver lamé spacesuit for the first time, he “took a deep breath, took a second look at the image of a wrapped-aluminum baked potato and said to myself, ‘How the hell did this happen?'” The youngest of five kids, Charles Harvey Goddard was born on July 24, 1936, in Lowell, Massachusetts. Raised in the coastal town of Scituate, where his father owned a general store, he attended Holy Cross but left during his junior year in 1958 to pursue acting. “I felt like, ‘Jeez, I’m gonna be the next Jimmy Dean.’ And when I went to New York, there were about five hundred Jimmy Deans runnin’ around,” he told Weaver. “We all had our red jackets and our little motorcycles.” Goddard studied at the American Academy of Dramatic Arts while working in the evenings at Woolworths, then came to Hollywood in 1959 and appeared on an episode of The Rifleman and in a TV movie, Woman on the Run, that starred Joan Crawford and was directed by Dick Powell. Both projects were for Four Star, the company co-founded by Powell, David Niven, Charles Boyer and Joel McCrea. Goddard then played Cully, the deputy to a former gunslinger (Don Durant), on Johnny Ringo, a 1959-60 Western for CBS and Four Star that was the first series produced by Aaron Spelling. When that show was canceled, Powell put Goddard on ABC’s The Detectives in September 1960. He played Sgt. Chris Ballard and infused the Robert Taylor starrer with a dose of youthful vigor. (Adam West joined the series for its final season on NBC.) Goddard then appeared on episodes of shows like Burke’s Law, The Beverly Hillbillies, The Bill Dana Show and Perry Mason before playing the husband of Elinor Donahue’s character on the 1964-65 CBS comedy Many Happy Returns, set in a department store. (After all, he did work at Woolworths.) Goddard said he was never tested as an actor on Lost in Space, though he found the atmosphere on the set challenging. “There was tension all the time,” he told Weaver. “There was tension with the cinematographer, there was tension with the writers coming down, there was always something going on. … You know what they say, the ‘fish stinks from the head?’ “This isn’t fair to say because Irwin is dead and he can’t defend himself, but I think that his kind of perfection, what he wanted and the way he wanted it, his very cold manner with everyone — this permeated right from him to the writers, to the directors, to the cast to the crew. You could sense that.” Goddard said that he was making $1,170 a week by the end of the series. On Facebook, Mumy called Goddard “a truly fine actor … naturally gifted as well as trained” and noted that they “had a lot of great memorable times together during the three years of filming the series. We got into some pretty goofy trouble.” Goddard also appeared in the films The Monkey’s Uncle (1965) with Annette Funicello; A Rage to Live (1965), starring Suzanne Pleshette; and The Love-Ins (1967) during that era. After Lost in Space, Goddard said he was typecast as a “space show” actor. He worked on the soap operas One Life to Live and General Hospital; guest-starred on such shows as Petrocelli, The Streets of San Francisco, Benson and Barnaby Jones; and appeared in the 1977 film Blue Sunshine. He had a cameo (as did Lockhart, Cartwright and Kristen) in the 1998 Lost in Space feature adaptation that had Matt LeBlanc as Don West. And on the Netflix series that ran for three seasons from 2018-21, Ignacio Serricchio played his character. Goddard went on to complete his college education, earn a master’s degree and teach special-education children for more than 20 years in his home state. In addition to his wife, survivors include his daughter, Melissa Goddard, a producer on the 1992 film Poison Ivy; sons John and Michael; and sisters June and Patricia. His second wife was actress Susan Anspach (Five Easy Pieces, Blume in Love). |

Burt Young, ‘Rocky’ Oscar Nominee and Tough Guy Character Actor, Dies at 83
THE WRAP yahoo.com Jeremy Fuster October 18, 2023 Burt Young, best known to “Rocky” fans as the underdog champion’s best friend Paulie Pennino, died on Oct. 8 at the age of 83, according to The New York Times. Young earned an Academy Award nomination for his performance as Paulie in the first “Rocky” film in 1976, and reprised the role in the next five films in the series from “Rocky II” in 1979 to “Rocky Balboa” in 2006. Over the course of the series, Paulie serves as both a positive and negative force in Rocky’s life, helping the boxer get a date with his sister and Rocky’s future wife Adrian, yet regularly mistreating her and never hiding his jealousy at Rocky’s in-ring success. By the time of his final appearance in “Rocky Balboa,” the aging Paulie comes to regret his abusive behavior towards the now-deceased Adrian, and has a much easier relationship with the retired Rocky. Beyond “Rocky,” Young had over 160 roles in film and television, including a bit role in Roman Polanski’s “Chinatown” and Sergio Leone’s “Once Upon a Time in America.” His television appearances included shows like “M*A*S*H*,” “Walker, Texas Ranger,” and “Law & Order.” With his rough appearance and his past as a former Marine and boxer, Young built a career taking on roles as working-class Italian-Americans like Paulie. His work even extended to a guest appearance on another famous show featuring Italian-Americans: “The Sopranos.” On the famed HBO series, Young played the cancer stricken father of Bobby Baccalieri, who is ordered by Tony Soprano to kill his godson after he brutally beats one of the Sopranos’ family friends. Young is survived by his brother, Robert; his daughter, Anna, and his grandson. |

Richard Roundtree
Richard Roundtree, ‘Shaft’ Star, Dies at 81 Richard Roundtree, an icon of Blaxploitation film who starred as detective John Shaft in Gordon Parks’ 1971 action thriller, died Tuesday afternoon after a short battle with pancreatic cancer. He was 81 years old. His death was confirmed by Patrick McMinn, his manager since 1987. “Richard’s work and career served as a turning point for African American leading men in film,” McMinn said in his statement. “The impact he had on the industry cannot be overstated.” Roundtree was a leading man from the very start of his lifetime in screen acting. After beginning his career in modeling, he secured “Shaft” at the age of 28, marking his feature debut. The MGM release earned $12 million in ticket sales off of a $500,000 production budget, helping to save the studio from bankruptcy. A breakthrough hit, “Shaft” set the tone for a prolific decade of Blaxploitation filmmaking and demonstrated Hollywood’s historical failure to consider Black talent and the moviegoing audiences that they could reach. When asked about the “exploitation” label attached to “Shaft” by the New York Times in a 2019 interview, Roundtree expressed some ambiguity about the term. “I had the privilege of working with the classiest gentleman possibly that I’ve ever known in the industry, Gordon Parks. So, that word, exploitation, I take offense to with any attachment to Gordon Parks… I’ve always viewed that as a negative. Exploitation. Who’s being exploited?” Roundtree said. “But it gave a lot of people work. It gave a lot of people entrée into the business, including a lot of our present-day producers and directors. So, in the big picture, I view it as a positive.” Two sequels about the “bad mother (shut your mouth)” quickly followed within the span of two years: “Shaft’s Big Score” and “Shaft in Africa.” In 1973, CBS attempted a “Shaft” television series starring Roundtree — a run that only lasted a handful episodes. “You can’t erase events, but that’s one I wish I could,” Roundtree told the Times in 2019. “I had just come back from ‘Shaft in Africa’ when they tried to convert the character to television. It wasn’t going to happen. That was an ugly point in my long, illustrious career.” Long and illustrious, it was. Already a marquee name, Roundtree quickly grew beyond his star-making role, with performances in the ensemble disaster film “Earthquake,” a starring turn alongside Peter O’Toole in “Man Friday” and another as an ill-fated detective in Larry Cohen’s monster comedy “Q — The Winged Serpent.” He also frequently popped in for guest starring performances on TV, with credits including “Roots,” “Magnum P.I.” and “The Love Boat.” Roundtree returned to the world of “Shaft” in director John Singleton’s 2000 revival of the franchise, starring Samuel L. Jackson. Although Jackson also played a detective named John Shaft, his character was written as the nephew to Roundtree’s original private eye. Both actors reprised their roles in 2019 for Tim Story’s comedic take on the series. Born July 9, 1942 in Rochester, N.Y., Roundtree briefly attended Southern Illinois University before dropping out to pursue a modeling career. In the late ’60s, he joined the Negro Ensemble Company and began acting in New York stage productions. Roundtree worked regularly for more than 50 years, with his iconic turn in “Shaft,” rich history in genre filmmaking and compelling screen presence adding color to the worlds of films like “Se7en,” “Brick” and “Speed Racer.” He played a supporting role in “Moving On,” a comedy starring Lily Tomlin and Jane Fonda that debuted at the Toronto Film Festival last year before releasing in theaters this past summer. Roundtree was married twice, first to Mary Jane Grant from 1963 to 1973, then to Karen M. Cierna, from 1980 to 1998. He is survived by his four daughters, Nicole, Tayler, Morgan and Kelli Roundtree, and his son, James. Source: Variety.com |
