\"Jerome<\/a>Drexel Jerome “Jerry” Lewis Bixby (11 January<\/a> 1923<\/a> \u2013 28 April<\/a> 1998<\/a>; age 75), on rare occasions referred to as Jerry Bixby, but usually as Jerome Bixby, was an American science fiction writer. He wrote the four Star Trek: The Original Series<\/a><\/i> episodes “Mirror, Mirror<\/span><\/a>“, “By Any Other Name<\/span><\/a>“, “Day of the Dove<\/span><\/a>“, and “Requiem for Methuselah<\/span><\/a>“. The first of these garnered him a 1968 Hugo Award<\/a> nomination in the category “Best Dramatic Presentation”, which he shared with the director of the episode, Marc Daniels<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Apart from his Star Trek<\/i> work, Bixby is most famous for the short story “It’s a Good Life<\/a>“, which was adapted into a memorable episode of The Twilight Zone<\/a><\/i>. The episode starred Bill Mumy<\/a> as the boy, and featured Don Keefer<\/a>. He also wrote the original story for the 1966 science fiction classic Fantastic Voyage<\/i> (featuring a music score by Leonard Rosenman<\/a>), that earned him his one year earlier Hugo Award nomination in the same category.<\/p>\n

Jerome Bixby’s last great work, a screenplay The Man from Earth<\/i><\/a>, was conceived in the early 1960s and was completed on his death bed in April of 1998. Much like the Star Trek episode “Requiem for Methuselah”, The Man From Earth<\/i> deals with the subject of immortality. In 2007, Jerome Bixby’s Man From Earth<\/i> (alternate title) was turned into an independent motion picture executive produced by his son Emerson Bixby, directed by Richard Schenkman and starring David Lee Smith<\/a>, William Katt, Richard Riehle<\/a>, Tony Todd<\/a>, Annika Peterson, Alexis Thorpe, Ellen Crawford and John Billingsley<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The Star Trek: Deep Space Nine<\/a><\/i> episode “The Emperor’s New Cloak<\/span><\/a>“, the first episode after his death to return to the mirror universe<\/a> he created, was dedicated to Bixby’s memory.<\/p>\n
