As I Knew Him is at once a portrait of a father and daughter, and a tribute to Rod Serling?s legacy as a visionary, storyteller, and humanist. Now she shares her journey, along with personal photos, letters, scenes of her dad?s youth, his service in WWII, and her family?s time together. ![]() But through talking to his friends, poring over old letters, and recounting her childhood memories, Anne not only navigated her profound grief, but gained a deeper understanding of this remarkable man both as her father and as a dynamic writer. In 1975, Rod Serling?s untimely death at 50 years old left 20-year-old Anne stunned and reeling. In this deeply intimate and soulful memoir about her father, Anne Serling reveals the fun-loving dad and family man behind the serious figure the public saw hosting The Twilight Zone each week. Originally published in 2013 and now re-issued with a new Afterword, anecdotes, and photos. While there have been a number of biographies of Rod (who died in 1975 at the age of 50) and the series published over the years, none have taken the personal approach as Anne’s As I Knew Him: My Dad, Rod Serling, which was, in one way, written in response to all those other books. Illustrated with photographs and documents. ![]()
