Boxer, Paratrooper, and general angry young man, Serling was one of the radical new voices that made the 'Golden Age' of Television. Long before "The Twilight Zone" (1959), he was known for writing such high quality scripts as 'Patterns' and 'Requiem for a Heavywieght'. Even "The Twilight Zone" featured forays into controversial grounds like racism, Cold War paranoia and the horrors of war. His maverick attitude eventually drove him from regular network television.
