Phyllis Coates (1927 - 2023)
==Film Deaths:==
*Invasion USA (1952) [Mrs. Mulfory]: Drowned, along with Erik Blythe and their children, when the flood waters overtake their taxicab after the Soviets bomb the Boulder Dam; we only see Erik's hat and their daughter's doll floating in the water after the cab is engulfed. The entire story turns out to be a hypnotic illusion showing what might happen if the Soviets invade the US; everybody survives in reality.
*I Was a Teenage Frankenstein (Teenage Frankenstein) (1957) [Margaret]: Killed by Gary Conway when she tries to give him an injection in Whit Bissell's laboratory; Gary then throws her body into the alligator pit.
==Television Deaths:==
*Perry Mason: The Case of the Black-Eyed Blonde (1958) [Norma Carter]: Fatally injured in a car accident while fleeing from Raymond Burr; she dies in the hospital shortly afterwards, after confessing to the murder of Rachel Ames.
*Rawhide: Incident of the Judas Trap (1959) [Nora Sage]: Strangled to death off-screen by Gerald Mohr because she threatened to ruin his plans of exploiting Jane Nigh.
