Rod Serling
American screenwriter (1924–1975)
Rodman Edward Serling (December 25, 1924 – June 28, 1975) was an American screenwriter and television producer best known for his live television dramas of the 1950s and his anthology television seriesThe Twilight Zone.
Comments He wrote Planet of the Apes screenplay and also 7 Days in May. Two of my favorite films.
Serling was active in politics, both on and off the screen, and helped form television industry standards. He was known as the "angry young man" of Hollywood, clashing with television executives and sponsors over a wide range of issues, including censorship, racism, and war.
Early life
Serling was born on December 25, 1924, in Syracuse, New York, to a Jewish family.[2] He was the second of two sons born to Esther (née Cooper, 1893–1958), a homemaker, and Samuel Lawrence Serling (1892–1945).[3] Serling's father had worked as a secretary and amateur inventor before his children were born but took on his father-in-law's profession as a grocer to earn a steady income.[2]:
