William Francis Nolan is one of "The Group" of United States science fiction authors responsible for most of the scripts for the television show The Twilight Zone. Nolan was friends with the other Group members, but didn't write episodes for The Twilight Zone. Instead, Nolan was known for coauthoring the novel Logan's Run. He also co-wrote the screenplay for the 1976 horror film Burnt Offerings which starred Karen Black and Bette Davis.
