Edward Bernard Collins (January 30, 1883 – September 2, 1940) was an American actor, comedian and singer.
Career
He began working in
Next to Dopey, Collins's most-beloved role is that of Tylo, a dog who is magically transformed into a human, in The Blue Bird (1940). Upon being transformed, Tylo follows his mistress Mytyl (Shirley Temple) on a quest to find the famed "Bluebird of happiness". Collins's interpretation of Tylo is that of an easily spooked, but loyal companion who will do anything for those he loves. He died of a heart attack[6] on September 2, 1940, just weeks after the premiere of his last film The Return of Frank James.
