WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 25, 2019 JAN MERLIN DEAD AT 94 Former _Another World_ writer Jan Merlin died on September 20 in Los

Angeles. He was 94.

Born on April 3, 1925, Merlin was a torpedo man aboard U.S. Navy destroyers during World War II. He studied acting at the Neighborhood Playhouse in New York and appeared in the ensemble in the original 1948 Broadway production of "Mister Roberts," starring Henry Fonda. From 1950-54, Merlin starred as Roger Manning on the kids TV program _Tom Corbett, Space Cadet_, based on a comic strip. He moved to Hollywood for a role in _Six Bridges to Cross_ (1955), starring Curtis, then appeared with Mamie Van Doren in _Running Wild_ (1955), with Dale Robertson in _A Day of Fury_ (1956), with Tom Tryon in _Screaming Eagles_ (1956) and with Ann Sheridan in _Woman and the

Hunter_ (1957).

In 1958-59, Merlin portrayed Lt. Colin Kirby on _The Rough Riders_, an ABC series set in the aftermath of the Civil War. His credits also included the films _Guns of Diablo_ (1964), _The Oscar_ (1966), _The St. Valentine's Day Massacre_ (1967), _Take the Money and Run_ (1969) and _The Hindenburg_ (1975) and such TV shows as _Laramie_, _The Virginian_, _Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea_, _Mannix_, _Mission: Impossible_ and _Little House on the Prairie_. Merlin also spent about five years as a writer on Harding Lemay's team at NBC soap _Another World_, winning a Daytime Emmy in 1975 and receiving another nomination two years later.
