Actor, TV Host Gary Collins has died.
Gary Collins, actor, TV host and former master of ceremonies for the Miss America Pageant, died Saturday of natural causes at the age of 74, Harrison County, Miss., Chief Deputy Coroner Brian Switzer told NBC News.
Collins, a resident of Biloxi, died just before 1 a.m. after he was brought to Biloxi Regional Medical Center, Switzer said.
During the 1980s, Collins hosted the Miss America pageant and TV's "Hour Magazine."
As an actor he appeared in numerous movies and TV shows dating back to the 1960s. He was a cast member of the series "The Wackiest Ship in the Army" in the 1960s, and the star of the series "The Sixth Sense" in the 1970s. He also appeared on "Charlie's Angels," "The Love Boat," and "Fantasy Island."
In 1967, he married actress Mary Ann Mobley, who was crowned Miss America in 1959. They co-hosted the 1989 Miss America pageant. They separated last year.
Collins is survived by his three children -- one with Mobley, and two from a previous marriage.
