From WikipediaElliott Baker (December 15, 1922 – February 9, 2007), born
Elliot Joseph Cohen, was a screenwriter and novelist.
Baker was born in Buffalo, New York, and graduated from

Entertainer. He also wrote "Side Show", the most famous episode of
Roald Dahl's 1961 television anthology horror series Way Out, which featured a
carnival "electric woman with a light bulb for a head."
