Ray Bradbury Centennial post August 9, 2020

Daily Ray Bradbury Centennial Post. From 1985 to 1992 on HBO and the USA Network 65 episodes of the Ray Bradbury Theater presented selections from the deep inventory of Bradbury’s short stories. The anthology series was a who’s who of guest stars from William Shatner and Peter O’Toole to Jean Stapleton and Lucy Lawless. The intro in the beginning featured Bradbury walking into his home office and narrating his approach to writing. Also in early years he introduced or made comments on episodes, and he had the creative power to slip in small self-referential touches, causing stories to touch other stories in his oeuvre, so to speak. Herewith his original introduction, so you can see the man, age 65, and hear his voice.
