Rod Serling Biography - Day Of A Playwright (1985)
Written and produced only 10 years after Rod's death, this program premiered at the opening of the permanent Rod Serling Exhibit at the Broome County Performing Arts Center in Rod's hometown of Binghamton, NY.
This short biographical documentary focuses on the full spectrum of Rod's achievements for early television, his commitment to both social and cultural possibilities of the medium, and his deep connection with his hometown.
The video was produced in cooperation with Rod's wife Carol Serling, the Ithaca College School of Communications, CBS Photography in New York and WSKG Public Television in Binghamton. It was narrated by Rod's famed high school drama teacher and life-long friend, Ms. Helen Foley.
Written and produced by Bob Rosenbaum for the non-profit Rod Serling Memorial Foundation.

    This December 25th, 2024, will mark the 100th anniversary of this great man's birth. To think, his traumatic experiences serving in WWII must have given him PTSD. Writing all those deep stories must have been therapeutic to him. Being able to use science fiction to point a mirror at the ills of humanity. God bless you, Mr. Serling.❤

    Serling died in 1975. Wonder when this was made? I noticed him coughing that deep cancer cough. I bet he didnt live long after this _ he kept his cigarette burning. That is a hard core addiction. I beat itbut damn it was a battle

      This was produced in 1985 to be part of a unique Rod Serling Installation that was exhibited in the publicly-owned performing arts theater in his hometown of Binghamton, NY. Yeah, the first and last Serling interview clips are from the early '70s.

    He did THE ZERO HOUR radio drama 1973-75 good radio show before he died from chronic heavy smoking. a Slow suicide Philip Morris cigarettes killed him. " He died before his time"

      Yeah, smoking did him in. But I wouldn't use the word 'suicide' to describe his lifestyle. Rod Serling was as far from committing suicide as one can get. His whole generation, and especially those who came back home from WWII, were smoking non-stop. It was a very popular social activity.

    My father served in the same Pacific theater battles as Mr. Serling. The nightmares stayed with him until his death at 96. He smoked 2 packs of Camel studs a day from '46-75 when he quit and got another 40 years (They got 2 packs of Lucky's daily in combat).

    @JabalBob Thank you so much for sharing this historic treasure. The original analogue version was most likely destroyed or thrown away...like so many original recording sessions of famous musicians. Hopefully not.

      Happy that you enjoyed it. I think Serling's television work is safely archived, including in several academic research libraries for future generations, thank goodness.

      Yes, you're correct. The source was actually converted to this format quite a while ago when transfer quality was less than what is available today.

    As a graduate student studying script writing, I enjoyed and appreciated the final clip. Rod hits the nail on the head regarding the problematic approach in college level courses. We need more hands on experience. I wish Rod taught film at my school. RIP to both Rod and Carol Serling!!

      I agree with what Rod says wholeheartedly. I'm a grad student studying script writing, and whenever the chance comes to shoot something it's treated like a big event. In reality, it should be something the student does every day. I mean the time studying needless theories could be spent developing and fine tuning your skills.
