Rod Serling had a lot of fantasies.

Serling was a heck of a good writer. Recently ran across a TV Western series he wrote and produced called “The Loner”, starring Lloyd Bridges. Didn’t stay on the air all that long (1964-65), but it was extremely well done.

Fredric March

'מארץ

Now there's a name I just don't see every day. More like never. Well until 5 days ago when I came upon him, as

the original Norman Maine in A Star is Born (1937).

So as the simple observations went along,

March from the land, מארץ' מארץ -- sounds like an Exodus.

Made sense... a Star is Born (Passover, the birthday of the Jewish nation)

Who can keep up anymore..
