The star of film and TV was found dead at his home, according to reports.
According to TMZ, an ambulance was dispatched to the actor's home in Los Angeles around 8pm Saturday evening.
Garner was one of the first of TV’s leading men to cross over into films in the 1960s with popular movies like The Thrill Of It All. But his greatest successes were in television, with Maverick in the 1950s and The Rockford Files in the 1970s.

He won an Emmy for his acting in The Rockford Files in 1977.
He was also nominated for an Oscar for his role in Murphy’s Romance.
He starred in the 1994 big screen version of Maverick alongside Mel Gibson, and also played the older version of Ryan Gosling's character in The Notebook.
Garner is survived by his wife, the former Lois Clarke, to whom he was married since 1956; daughter Greta “Gigi” Garner; and an adopted daughter, Kimberly, from Clarke’s first marriage.
