1982: NBC Presents Mailer's 'The Executioner's Song'
November 28, 2020  | By TV WW  | 36 comments
 
On this day in 1982, NBC presented a made-for-TV version of Norman Mailer's Pulitzer Prize-winning true-life novel, The Executioner's Song. The four-hour film starred Tommy Lee Jones as Gary Gilmore, who was the first person to be executed in the United States after the Supreme Court upheld the use of the death penalty in 1976. 

After serving 12 years for robbery, Gilmore was released from prison. Soon after he returned to his former life of crime, murdering two men during two separate robberies. After his trial and conviction, Gilmore fought to expedite his execution (by firing squad), sparking a national debate over the revival of the death penalty.

Jones won an Emmy for the role. The film co-starred Rosanna Arquette, Christine Lahti and Eli Wallach.

Wazzup Fellow Writer, What you ?have here really have me interested up to the last word, and I wanna say to you I am not that typical man who finish the full length post of blogs as I most of the time got bored and tired of the trash content that is presented to me on a daily basis and I simply end up checking out the pics and maybe a headline, a paragraph and so on. But your headline and the first paragraphs were so cool and it right on the spot got me hooked. Thanks for tearing me out of this boring world! Thanks, really.
