"Dr Ben Casey star,Vince Edward’s, could have used a real doctor after Mafia Mobster, Anthony ”The Animal” Fiato busted him up. The Hollywood actor who made millions from his hit TV series Ben Casey but blew every dime of it betting on the ponies..Vince was a regular at Hollywood Park race track. He was always at the hundred dollar window. When he went bust he would bet “on-the-cuff” with a bevy of off-track bookies. Edward’s made the mistake of borrowing bucks from a mobbed-up shylock named Marty Allen to pay off his debts, but the snake-bit loser and deadbeat wouldn’t pay it back , so Allen got Los Angeles Mafia enforcer Anthony fiato to beat the bejesus out of him. Vince Edwards died broke, and riddled with pancreatic cancer"
