Ocean's 11 and Twilight Zone Writer Interviewed

An interview/article about George Clayton Johnson ran in The Weekly Volcano, an alternative newspaper for Olympia and Tacoma, Washington. I commented on Johnson's credits in a recent post, so I won't go in depth here. He co-wrote the story on which the movie adaptations of Ocean's 11 were based. He also wrote co-wrote Logan's Run. His Twilight Zone episodes include "A Game of Pool" and "Kick the Can."

The interview says that Rod Serling rewrote Johnson's ending of "A Game of Pool." In that story, an obsessed pool shark challenges the ghost of the greatest pool player who ever lived. But, there's a price . . .
