Ray Bradbury was arguably the greatest short story writer in American history; at least the greatest sci Fi writer. Most of his works ended up truly great sci-fi movies. His popularity peak in the late 1970s when prime time TV turned his greatest work, the Martian Chronicles, into a large mini series with a galaxy of the best actors
