Agnes Moorehead and the Invaders

1961’s The Invaders is one of the best-remembered Twilight Zone episodes, with an ending like one of those five-page Marvel Comics science fiction tales. 

This fantastic story is sold by Agnes Moorehead’s silent performance as a woman Richard Matheson’s script describes as having “…been alone for many years; a strong, simple person whose existence is primitive and whose only problem is acquiring enough food to eat.”

Director Douglas Heyes recalled, “The reason I suggested her was that she had done a radio show called Sorry, Wrong Number which was a half-hour tour de force where she used nothing but her voice, and I said, ‘Here’s a half-hour tour de force where the woman doesn’t use her voice at all!”

Ahimsa is an ancient Indian principle meaning "non-violence" or "non-injury" to all living beings. Derived from Sanskrit, it means not causing harm through physical actions, words, or even thoughts. It is a foundational ethical concept in Hinduism, Buddhism, and Jainism, and forms the first ethical guideline of yoga. — Ai summary
