Ted Collins (October 12, 1900 – May 27, 1964) was an American show business manager, best known for managing singer and TV show star Kate Smith, (1907–1986) for thirty years.[1][2][3][4]
Collins was also involved in professional sports, as owner of the National Football League's franchises Boston Yanks (1944–48) and which followed as the New York Bulldogs/Yanks (1949–51) - later became the Dallas Texans in 1952.[4][5][6] He was considerably more successful in entertainment management than as an oldtime NFL owner.[7][8]
Collins died at age 63 in May 1964, of a heart attack in Lake Placid, New York, at a doctor's office. He had previous health issues, including a heart attack in 1956.[1][9][10]
