Poor guy...the latest photos I saw of him looked like he had either been in a car wreck or a bar fight.
He was in the news in South MS for walking out on a dinner tab awhile back...paid more in court fees then I am sure that bills cost him!
Does anyone know if Mary Ann still lives in MS?

Married to Miss America Mary Ann Mobley.
Gary Collins was everywhere on television in the 1970s and 1980s.
Then he just sort of disappeared.
But nobody really noticed, because Stephen Collins and Gary Cole filled the same niche in Hollywood's ecosystem.
RIP, Gary.

Sounds like alcohol abuse was instrumental in the quality and shortening of his life.

Hour Magazine with Gary Collins (1980-1988).
You have a good memory.
I just remember seeing him on a lot of cop shows and tv movies.

A friendly and unoffensive guy, in stark contrast to so many in tv today. RIP.
To: fieldmarshaldj
Ditto here...singularly pleasant TV personality, reasonably successful I thought, before he dropped off the map. RIP.

May God bless and keep him.
I saw him and Mary Ann at one of the Miss Mississippi Pageant parades in Vicksburg. They were the most popular couple; so kind and friendly to everyone.

Does anybody remember if Gary Collins was in a vampire themed show during his TV days? For some reason, I’m thinking of the soap opera Dark Shadows.
