Legendary science-fiction author Ray Bradbury passed away Wednesday morning in Los Angeles. Bradbury, who was 91, leaves behind a legacy that extends beyond the literature community, with tens of TV and film credits to his name.
Here at HuffPost Entertainment, we've collected some of the "Fahrenheit 451" author's most notable film and TV moments. Interestingly, Bradbury has a great deal of foreign language writing credits, including six episodes of 2004's "Un, Dos, Tres ... Resonda Otra Vez."
Bradbury is also credited with "El Que Espera" and "El Umbral," from 2004 and 2003, respectively.
Of his work in television, the late author is perhaps best known for "The Ray Bradbury Theater," a series that spanned the late '80s and early '90s. Bradbury has 58 credits from that show, writing both the screenplays and the stories that inspired them.
Bradbury's efforts were not confined to screenwriting alone. The man of many talents' most recent onscreen appearance was in 1996's "Corwin,...

He turned to TV and film in the 1950s, and went on to pick up an Emmy and a Golden Globe, as well as an Academy Award nomination for his 1956 script for Lust for Life, starring Kirk Douglas.
Corwin also wrote more than a dozen books and theatre plays, and was inducted into the Radio Hall of Fame in 1993.

Norman Corwin is widely referred to as “the poet laureate of radio.” That won’t have much meaning to people who didn’t grow up in the 1940s or haven’t sought out his brilliant audio dramas.
