The 80s home of Mary Ann Mobley & Gary Collins (1982)
Mary Ann Mobley, Gary Collins and daughter Clancy live in a Beverly Hills home steeped in southern charm
She is, of course, a former Miss Mississippi, who became Miss America in 1959, and has since been a busy actress.
In November 1967, she wed actor Gary Collins, and they bought this two-story Cape Cod house. (Daughter Clancy, 14, arrived in October 1968.)
Gary Collins, Mary Ann Mobley & Clancy Collins
The house, decorated by architect-designer Hank Milam, reflects Mary Ann’s southern upbringing and Gary’s easy-going charm.
The host of TV’s Hour Magazine, Gary made this year’s Miss America pageant a family affair when he became the new master of ceremonies.
[Their daughter grew up to be top Hollywood TV executive (Mary) Clancy Collins White — see more about her here.]
