Written by George Clayton Johnson, this low-key Twilight Zone episode stars Gladys Cooper as Wanda Dann, an old woman terrified at the prospect of death. Sequestering herself in a shabby basement apartment, Wanda refuses to let anyone past her door, fearful that one of her visitors might be Death himself. And then late one evening, she lets down her guard long enough to offer shelter to wounded policeman Harold Belden (played by a very young Robert Redford). "Nothing in the Dark" first aired on January 5, 1962.
