Frederick Coffin
Frederick Coffin was born on
January 16, 1943. He was the son of actress Winifred Coffin (Winifred Collins
was her stage name) and a writer
of musicals (unknown name), he had three brothers and one sister, Will (his
fraternal twin), Tris and Howard (also twins) and Cella, respectively.
Mrs. Collins sent her boys to
Western Reserve Academy, in Hudson, Ohio, primarily because of the food (her
boys were hearty eaters and just big and athletic). Coffin excelled in
school, save for one bout of academic probation, and found activities beyond his
studies quite agreeable. In addition to theatre studies he was a member of
many different social clubs, etc., including: the Senior Chapel Committee, Glee
Club, R club, octet & prefect, Hardscrabble Staff, class secretary/treasurer
and he was also the recipient of a Headmaster's award (Headmaster chooses a
worthy student). Furthermore he participated in football, basketball (team
captain), baseball and even managed to work at Upward Bound (youth program)
during a summer. Coffin graduated from WRA in 1961 with a BA in Theatre.
In 1962 Coffin entered the
University of Michigan where he intended to play football (as a walk-on). A week
into football and he decided to quit to do a musical. He never regretted
his decision and never looked back. While studying at U of M he was a member of
APA - Phoenix Repertory Company where he played many roles. He graduated
from U of M with a Masters in Theatre.
One of Coffin's first
professional starts on stage was with the New York Public Theatre and for the
following thirty years Coffin put his heart into all of his roles.
Coffin died on July 31, 2003 of
lung cancer, survived by his wife, actress Barbara Monte-Britton (1977-2003
until his death) and by three brothers.
