Collier Hudson Young (August 19, 1908 – December 25, 1980)[1] was an American film producer and writer, who worked on many films in the 1950s, before becoming a television producer for such shows as NBC's Ironside and CBS's The Wild, Wild West, as well as the supernatural anthology series One Step Beyond (1959–61).
Young was married five times: to Ruth Valerie Edmunds of Toronto, Canada, on May 3, 1938, in New York City, to actress and director, Ida Lupino, from 1948 to 1951, to actress Joan Fontaine from 1952 to 1961 and businesswoman and former model, Marjory Ann "Meg" Marsh, in 1965.
Young's film production credits included Outrage (1950) and The Hitch-Hiker (1953), both with Lupino as director.
Elements of his screenplay for The Bigamist mined his serial relationships with Lupino and Fontaine, who played the deceived wives of that film.
He was creator of the long-running TV series Ironside, starring Raymond Burr.
