Science fiction author Ray Bradbury died on Tuesday in Los Angeles at the age of 91. Many of Mr. Bradbury’s stories and novels were adapted for television, radio, film and stage. Examples include his 1953 novel Fahrenheit 451 adapted as a theatrical film in 1966 directed by Francois Truffaut and starring Oskar Werner and Julie Christie. Much later his 1950 novel The Martian Chronicles was adapted into a miniseries for NBC in 1980 that starred Rock Hudson. Mr. Bradbury himself wrote three of the episodes. More recently, new film adaptations of both works are in development. Looking back, some of television’s classic anthology shows such as Tales of Tomorrow, Lights Out, CBS Television Workshop, Jane Wyman’s Fireside Theatre and Alfred Hitchcock Presents adapted his stories. During the same period, many of his stories were also adapted to radio dramas especially for the sci-fi anthologies Dimension X and its successor X Minus One. In addition, Mr. Bradbury’s short story I Sing the Body Electric was adapted into the 100th episode of The Twilight Zone in 1962 and later Mr. Bradbury adapted the story himself for the 1982 telepic The Electric Grandmother. From 1985 to 1992, Mr. Bradbury hosted The Ray Bradbury Theater, a syndicated anthology series for television for which he adapted 65 of his stories. Mr. Bradbury is survived by four daughters. His wife of 57 years, Marguerite Bradbury preceded him in death in 2003.
