She was also in Superman (1978) as the mother of Lois Lane. In one scene a young Clark Kent runs faster than the train that young Lois and her parents are riding on. Kirk Alyn who played Superman in the serials was also in the movie according to IMDB. Phyllis Coates is still with us apparently. Probably one of the few from the series who is. She's 89.

That's true. Alyn and Neill were both on the train young Clark was racing as I recall. I believe they were supposed to be the parents or grandparents of young Lois. John Hamilton died the same year the series ended. For my money there was never a better Perry White. He defined the character.
