>>213062538Serling was the real deal. Shitty mom, shipped off to fight in the Pacific in WWII where he saw horrors that obviously affected him, introduced surreal sci-fi/horror to early American television, was an obsessive workaholic, fought against the media industry his entire career to retain and produce work that matched his artistic vision, smoked like a chimney, the died by a series of heart attacks at 50. Guy is a fucking legend. I wish more artists were so driven and prolific and produced the quality volume of entertainment this guy did.
