FRANK COGHLAN, JR. - 1916-2009 - BILLY BATSON in CAPTAIN MARVEL MOVIE SERIAL

I've been meaning to do a posting about this for the last couple of days. I recently read that FRANK COGHLAN, JR. passed away on September 7. FRANK COGHLAN, JR. played BILLY BATSON in the 1941 Republic movie serial, ADVENTURES OF CAPTAIN MARVEL. I'm a great fan of this movie serial and was sorry to hear that FRANK COGHLAN, JR. had passed away. He was 93. Here's more from the L.A. TIMES.
