Bruce Geller, a talented script editor and writer, left an indelible mark on the television landscape, crafting countless programs from the 1950s to the 1980s.
Born in New York City, Geller's writing career began in the early 1950s with stints on shows such as "Rock King, Detective" and "Flash Gordon".
By the 1960s, his resume had grown significantly, with the creation of the iconic spy program "Mission: Impossible". The original series aired from 1966 to 1973, earning Geller two Emmy Awards and numerous nominations.
In addition to his work on "Mission: Impossible", Geller also produced the highly successful detective show "Mannix" during the same era.
Geller's foray into filmmaking resulted in the 1973 production and direction of "Harry in Your Pocket".
Tragically, Geller's life was cut short when he died at the age of 47 in 1978, after the Cessna plane he was piloting crashed near Santa Barbara.
