Synopsis
Long before anyone had heard of alien cookbooks, gremlins on the wings of airplanes, or places where pig-faced people are considered beautiful, Rod Serling was the most prestigious writer in American television. As creator, host, and primary writer for The Twilight Zone, Serling became something more: an American icon. When Serling died in 1975, at the age of fifty, he was the most honored, most outspoken, most recognizable, and likely the most prolific writer in television history.
Though best known for The Twilight Zone, Serling wrote over 250 scripts for film and television and won an unmatched six Emmy Awards for dramatic writing for four different series. His filmography includes the acclaimed political thriller Seven Days in May and cowriting the original Planet of the Apes.
In great detail and including never-published insights drawn directly from Serling's personal correspondence, unpublished writings, speeches, and unproduced scripts, Nicholas Parisi explores Serling's entire, massive body of work. With a foreword by Serling's daughter, Anne Serling, Rod Serling: His Life, Work, and Imagination is part biography, part videography, and part critical analysis. It is a painstakingly researched look at all of Serling's work-in and out of The Twilight Zone.

Hardcover. Condition: Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: fine. First edition. A fine, fresh, unread as-new copy in equally fine dust jacket. First printing stated. Hardcover. xiv+ 541 pp. Illustrated with photos and reproductions. Introduction by Anne Serling (daughter of Rod Serling). The definitive biography as well a videography and critical analysis, of American screenwriter and television producer Rod Serling (1924-1975). Serling was a native of Syracuse, New York, served in the Army World War II in the 511th Parachute Infantry Regiment (as a technician not a jumper though his Division saw combat and Serling was wounded in Leyte), and after the war attended Antioch College in Ohio on the G.I,Bill. At Antioch he began writing and producing campus radio programs and in the summer of 1946 volunteered at New York City's WNYC as an actor and writer. He began his professional writing career in 1950 and moved from radio to television writing with WKRC-TV in Cincinnati. He began to gain fame when in 1955 the nationwide-broadcast Kraft Television Theater televised one of his scripts. He became best known for his TV series "The Twilight Zone" that ran from 1959 to 1964 and the 156 episodes continue in reruns today, a number of the episodes now considered iconic. The science fiction/fantasy format helped the show avoid censorship issues. Seller Inventory # E33690
