MANNIX and GAIL FISHER Mannix was one of the most successful of the many private eye shows that were so popular in the late 1960s into the 1970s. Some of the episodes are quite effective, many are boiler plate TV drama of the era, but one thing that struck me was the superb cinematography with unusual camera angles and inventive setups.
She couldn't get another TV gig? Gail Fisher developed a troubled personal life including problems with drugs, no doubt fueled by the industry's lack of interest. She made headlines in 1978 after she was busted for possession of pot and coke and for using an illegal phone device. She guest-starred in a 1980 episode of The White Shadow. Gail Fisher died in 2000 of kidney failure. She was 65. No doubt about it, the Mannix theme song is one of the most exciting in TV history.
Here's Gail Fisher in happier times, when she was a guest on Match Game '74.
