It came as a bit of a shock to some to learn that Richard Donner directed arguably the most well-known "Twilight Zone" episode of all time, which just so happened to star William Shatner.
Donner died on Monday at the age of 91. The legendary Superman and Lethal Weapon director was mourned in and around Hollywood for his massive contributions to cinema.
“Nightmare at 20,000 Feet” originally aired on Oct. 11, 1963, starring William Shatner (Star Trek) as Robert Wilson who is terrorized by a gremlin on the wing of his flight — or is he just crazy?
Shatner tweeted, “I am sorry to learn of his passing. He was a wonderful director. I don’t really have many memories of the shoot. It was chaotic; it was supposed to be a 4-day shoot & they cut it in half. They kept us there all night on the 2nd day to finish it. We were all sleep-deprived.”
