Peter Packer (II) (1906–1987)

Writer | Producer

Known to some vintage television fans as the writer/producer of some famous and not so famous TV western hours, but known mostly as the writer of 25 Lost In Space episodes...and some of those 25 were the very best of the series. Little is known about the private life of Packer but it would seem he was partly interested in making Lost In Space a space western rather than a science fiction series... See full bio »

Born:

in London, England, UK

Died:

(age 81) in Los Angeles, California, USA
