John B. Rosenman "In 1952, when I was eleven, I sat in a theater watching "The War of the Worlds". When the scene came in which three men were left alone with a smoldering meteor that started to unscrew I got scared to death. Originally I wanted (implausibly) to be an opera star, but I think that movie, plus others like "Them!" and "The Thing," influenced me to follow a more gruesome path." And we're glad he did.
