My father was good friends with Rod Serling when they worked together in television back in Cincinnati.
Rod Serling co-wrote the screenplay to Planet of the Apes along with Michael Wilson, which was adapted from the novel by Pierre Boulle. Pierre Boulle also wrote the novel that was adapted to become Bridge on the River Kwai, and co-wrote the screenplay with Michael Wilson. Bridge on the River Kwai starred Alec Guinness. Alec Guinness was Obi-Wan Kenobi in Star Wars. (It is entirely coincidence that my younger son's name is Michael Wilson Churvis).
