My Take
Gary Collins strikes me as the kind of all-rounder television rarely produces anymore. Winning a Daytime Emmy in 1984 and earning a Hollywood Walk of Fame star confirms he was no lightweight, but what impresses me more is that he thrived both as an actor and as a host. Hosting is unforgiving work, because there is nowhere to hide when the camera is live. The warmth and timing that lets someone carry a room hour after hour is a real craft. He passed in 2012, but a career spanning so many roles deserves genuine respect.
