OLCC mourns the loss of the following Outer Limits originals:

 

CONRAD L. HALL

4 January 2003

The Outer Limits #1 cinematographer, responsible for the stylish look of the most visionary episodes. A close ally of Leslie Stevens from the very beginning, Connie shot 25 episodes of Stoney Burke, 14 episodes of The Outer Limits, and the Daystar features Private Property (1960), Hero's Island (1962) and Incubus (1965). Nominated nine times for the cinematography Oscar, he won twice, for Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid (1969) and American Beauty (1999). A sorcerer of light and the chemical magic of film, Connie was also the very first person interviewed for The Outer Limits Companion. A cool guy who is much missed.
