My friend Jonathan shared a link with me about Rod Serling's background as a WWII veteran and how the war influenced his legendary show, "The Twilight Zone." (1959 - 64) I can also see this influence in his work on "Planet of the Apes" (1968). And early in his career, Serling was inspired by comedian Jack Benny. Did you know that Rod Serling was Jewish?
