Yep, saw this about an hour ago. My sister and I were commiserating on how we [[sadly) didn't realize he was still with us. RIP.

I remember watching Mannix. That must be a long time ago now.

I loved that show growing up, even had a crush on "Peggy" aka Gail Fisher. Rest in peace Mike. Thanks for being a part of it.............

Yeah, Marv, been thinking about the late Gail Fisher a lot today. Wasn't she the first African-American woman to win an Emmy?

I'm not sure,but she was a real big deal to me to see her on TV every week back in those days. Diahann Carroll too.

No question. Just checked Wikipedia...Fisher not only was the first African-American woman to win an Emmy, but the first to win a Golden Globe as well.
