The upcoming documentary film Remembering Rod Serling features unseen footage of the sci-fi TV pioneer teaching at Ithaca College in New York in 1970. Esther Gray Peacock, an Ithaca student, recalled Serling's anxieties over being forgotten. "The last time I saw him, out of the blue he looked at me and said 'I just have this horrible feeling I'll never be remembered … I'll never be a Hemingway,'" said Peacock.
