About the Author
Stephen Bowie is a freelance writer and film historian with a Bachelor of Arts in Cinema/Television Studies from the University of Southern California.
During high school he first published his work in Laser Marquee, a laserdisc review journal, though he never actually got around to owning a laserdisc player. Since then he has written for Scarlet Street, Television Chronicles, Outré, and the Daily Trojan (the USC newspaper, for which he was a film reviewer).
Stephen contributed an appraisal of director John Frankenheimer to the online journal Senses of Cinema that film critic Matt Zoller Seitz called “a major piece of criticism and scholarship.” In 2007, his survey of the political blacklist in 1950s television appeared in the three-volume anthology Jews and American Popular Culture.
Stephen has been a guest on KSAV’s Talking Television radio show, and has consulted for several companies on the home video releases of early TV shows. Most recently, he interviewed Roy Thinnes for the CBS DVD set of The Invaders’ first season.
He lives in New York City.
