It also evokes 1952's ''[[The Star (1952 film)|The Star]]'' with [[Bette Davis]] which was directed by [[Stuart Heisler]] and released by Twentieth Century Fox.

Ida Lupino later directed the season five episode "[[The Masks]]". She was both the only person to have acted in one episode and directed another, and the only woman to direct a ''Twilight Zone'' episode.

Martin Balsam starred in the [[de facto]] pilot for "Twilight Zone," [[The Time Element]] (broadcast as part of [[Westinghouse Desilu Playhouse]]) and returned to star in the season four episode "[[The New Exhibit]]". Between his two episodes of ''Twilight Zone'', Balsam appeared in three iconic films of the era: [[Psycho (1960 film)|''Psycho'']], [[Breakfast at Tiffany's (film)|''Breakfast at Tiffany's'']] and [[Cape Fear (1962 film)|''Cape Fear'']].
