SonOfUniversalHorror Posted October 15, 2012 Share Posted October 15, 2012 ** *(CNN)* -- Former television host and actor Gary Collins has died of natural causes in Mississippi, Harrison County Deputy Coroner Brian Switzer said Saturday. He was 74. Collins was known as a TV and radio personality and was married to former Miss America Mary Anne Mobley. He was an actor in the television series "The Sixth Sense" and "Born Free" in the 1970s and "Iron Horse" and "The Wackiest Ship in the Army" in the 1960s. His biography on the entertainment industry's IMDb.com states he became interested in acting after he enlisted in the Army and became a radio and television host for the Armed Forces Network. He made appearances in such popular TV shows as "Charlie's Angels" and "Fantasy Island." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sfpcc1 Posted October 15, 2012 Share Posted October 15, 2012 I remember back in the 70's when they were reruning Night Gallery. Epsiodes of The Six Sense were interspersed with episodes of that show. The first time I thought I was watching Night Gallery I was actually watching The Six Sense. (Truth be told the first time I thought I watched Monty Python it was really SCTV. I was really young.)

Sepiatone Posted October 15, 2012 Share Posted October 15, 2012 I always kind of liked Collins, and he seemed like a decent guy. Sad news indeed. Sepiatone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Night Gallery episode in my guide this weekend featured Gary and I don't see on IMDb where he ever appeared on that show. I guess it was actually a Sixth Sense episode repackaged for NG. Antenna TV shows his Iron Horse reruns. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
