Seeleg Lester, TV Writer/Producer

Seeleg Lester, 91, veteran TV writer and producer of "Perry Mason"
during the early 60s, died November 14, 2004, according to this month's
Writers Guild of America Member News.

Lester was living in Denver, CO,
when I interviewed him in 1997.

Born October 31, 1913 in New York City, Lester wrote for radio and then
for early half-hour television anthologies like "Four Star Playhouse,"
"Climax," and "The Millionaire." He wrote or co-wrote twenty episodes
of "Perry Mason" before succeeding whodunit guru Gene Wang as the
show's story editor and eventually moving up to producer.

Lester later
followed Ben Brady, "Perry Mason"'s executive producer, to United
Artists when Brady took over "The Outer Limits"' doomed second season.
Lester served as the show's story editor, and wrote the episodes "Wolf
359," "The Probe," and (sharing credit) the excellent two-parter "The
Inheritors."

In between, Lester did a short-lived stint at Universal,
