Richard Allen Boone (June 18, 1917 – January 10, 1981) was an American actor who starred in

Norman Lewis Corwin (May 3, 1910 – October 18, 2011) was an American writer, screenwriter,

Corwin
was among the first producers to regularly use entertainment—even light entertainment—to tackle serious social issues. In this area he was a peer of Orson Welles and William N. Robson, and an
inspiration to other later radio/TV writers such as Rod Serling, Gene Roddenberry, Norman Lear, J. Michael Straczynski and Yuri Rasovsky.
He was the son of Samuel and Rose Corwin and was born in Boston, Massachusetts.
Corwin was a major figure during the Golden Age of Radio. During the 1930s and 1940s
he was a writer and producer of many radio programs in many genres: history,
biography, fantasy, fiction, poetry and drama. He was the writer and creator of
series such as The Columbia Workshop, 13 By Corwin,
26 By Corwin and others. He recently was a lecturer at the University of Southern California.
Corwin won a One World Award, two Peabody Medals, an Emmy, a Golden Globe, a duPont-Columbia Award; he was nominated for an Academy Award for Writing Adapted Screenplay for Lust for Life (1956). On May 12, 1990, he
received an Honorary Doctorate from Lincoln College. In 1996 he received the
Doctor of Humane Letters honoris causa from California Lutheran University. Corwin was
inducted into the National Radio Hall of Fame in 1993.
