Richard Matheson
Richard Burton Matheson (February 20, 1926 – June 23, 2013) was an American author and screenwriter, primarily in the fantasy, horror, and science fiction genres. He may be known best as the author of ''I Am Legend'', a 1954 horror novel that has been adapted for the screen four times. Matheson also wrote 16 television episodes of ''The Twilight Zone'' for Rod Serling, including "Nightmare at 20,000 Feet" and "Steel".
He adapted his 1971 short story "Duel" as a screenplay directed by a young Steven Spielberg, for the television movie of the same name that year.
Six more of his novels or short stories have been adapted as major motion pictures: ''The Shrinking Man'', ''Hell House'', ''What Dreams May Come'', ''Bid Time Return'' (filmed as ''Somewhere in Time)'', ''A Stir of Echoes'' and ''Button, Button''. Lesser movies based on his work include two from his early noir novels — ''Cold Sweat'', based on his novel ''Riding the Nightmare'', and ''Les Seines de Glaces'' (''Icy Breasts'') based on his novel ''Someone is Bleeding'' .
==Early life==
Matheson was born in Allendale, New Jersey, to Norwegian immigrants Bertolf and Fanny Matheson, who divorced when he was 8. Matheson subsequently was raised in Brooklyn, New York by his mother. Early writing influences the film ''Dracula'', novels by Kenneth Roberts, and a poem he saw in the newspaper ''The Brooklyn Eagle'', where at age 8 he would publish his first short story. After graduating from Brooklyn Technical High School, he served with the U.S. Army in Europe during World War II, an experience that formed the basis for his 1960 novel ''The Beardless Warriors''.〔 After returning home, he attended the University of Missouri School of Journalism, earning his Bachelor of Arts degree in 1949. Afterward, he moved to California.〔〔
