Revision as of 23:36, 14 March 2007

Template:Realworld Shimon Wincelberg was a television writer and playwright who wrote or co-wrote two scripts for first season episodes of Star Trek: The Original Series using the nom de plume S. Bar-David. He also wrote "Lord Bobby's Obsession" for the aborted Star Trek: Phase II series.

Born in 1925, his family was forced to flee his native Germany by the Nazi pogroms, arriving in the United States in the late 1930's. He became a professional writer in 1953 with the sale of his first story. Subsequently, he worked steadily on television programs, plays, and books (some with his wife Anita, also a writer). In science fiction circles, he is probably best known for writing the first five-episode arc of the television series Lost in Space, as well as the pilot episode to another Irwin Allen science-fiction series The Time Tunnel. He died on September 29, 2004 after a long illness in a nursing home in Los Angeles, California, USA.
