Myron Daniel Healey (June 8, 1923 - December 21, 2005) was an American actor. He began his Hollywood career during the early 1940s in bit parts and minor supporting roles at various studios.
Healey was born in Petaluma, California and served in World War II as an Air Corps navigator and bombadier, flying in B-26 Martin Marauders in the European Theater. He continued that military duty, retiring in the early 1960s as a Captain in the Air Force Reserve. Returning to film work after WW2, Healey played villains and henchman in low budget Western films. In the post-WWII period, he was often seen in Monogram studio films, which starred Johnny Mack Brown, Jimmy Wakely and Whip Wilson.
In the 1950s, Healey moved to more bad guy roles in other films, including the Bomba and Jungle Jim series, crime dramas, and more westerns. Playing a good guy for a change, he was Phyllis Coates' partner in Panther Girl of the Kongo (1955). During the 1950s and 1960s, he was a very frequent performer on such television shows as Wagon Train, Gunsmoke, Bonanza, Perry Mason, The Adventures of Rin Tin Tin, and others. He was a regular on shows produced by Gene Autry's Flying-A production company such as Annie Oakley, Buffalo Bill Jr., Range Rider, The Gene Autry Show, et al. Healey appeared in about 140 films, including 81 westerns and 3 serials.
Healey died on December 21, 2005. Earlier that year he broke his hip in a fall. Along with some other complications, he never fully recovered and died at a hospital near his home in Simi Valley, California, aged 82.
