While Essex most certainly was not the author of It Came from Outer Space to the extent that he wanted me to believe, he hugely minimized his contributions when he told Bradbury that practically all he did was re-type Bradbury's final treatment.

Rick, you can make a case for that in the fifties, but not the forties. There's no question that Heinlein was number one in that decade.

If Heinlein was that big in the preceding years, they would have asked him to write It Came from Outer Space, not Bradbury.

As we probably all know by now, Bradbury never learned how to drive a car ... and doesn't fly on airplanes.
