Somehow I always thought Coates was a classy and aspiring actress and to see her fighting, riding an elephant (her first appearance), and swinging from vines was very disconcerting.


I just rented the colorized version of PLAN 9 FROM OUTER SPACE, mainly for the extras. They include a series of generic TV commericials that Wood filmed for various types of businesses (insert business name here) which I guess he hoped to sell. They were all god-awful. Phyliss Coates appeared in two if them. I think anywhere she went from there was a major step up.
