Frank Romer Pierson (May 12, 1925 – July 22, 2012) was an American screenwriter and film director.
Pierson was born in Chappaqua, New York, the son of Louise (née Randall), a writer, and Harold C. Pierson. Pierson's parents, family and their lives, were the subject of the 1943 book entitled Roughly Speaking and a 1945 movie of the same name, starring Rosalind Russell and Jack Carson as his parents.
Pierson served in the military during World War II, then graduated from Harvard. He worked as a correspondent for Time and Life magazines before selling his first script to Alcoa-Goodyear Theater. He got his break in Hollywood in 1958 as scripted editor for Have Gun, Will Travel and moved on to write for the television series Naked City, Route 66 and others. He went on to write or co-write several notable films, including Cat Ballou and Cool Hand Luke which were both nominated for Academy Awards. He wrote Dog Day Afternoon, which won Pierson his Oscar statuette. He directed and contributed to the screenplay of A Star Is Born, and the in-fighting between himself, Barbra Streisand, Kris Kristofferson and producer (and at the time boyfriend of Streisand) Jon Peters on the film led him to write the article "My Battles with Barbra and Jon" for The Village Voice.

While returning to the rest of his company, SPC Pierson saw a flash of light on the road and felt an intense rumbling as an electrically fired projectile (EFP) tore through the vehicle he was driving.

Winner 2001 | HBO Films produced in association with the British Broadcasting Corporation On January 20, 1942, 15 men assembled at a villa on the outskirts of Berlin for a meeting that would ultimately seal the fate of European Jews. Adolf Eichmann prepared 30 copies of the minutes of this top-secret meeting. By the fall of the Third Reich, all had disappeared or been destroyed—all but one. Discovered in the files of the Reich’s Foreign Office, the Wannsee Protocol detailed the plan for Hitler’s eradication of the Jews in Europe, the “Final Solution.” Under the expert pen of writer Loring Mandel, this sole copy became the basis for Conspiracy, a chilling re-creation of one of the most infamous summits in world history. Executive Producers Frank Doelger, David M. Thompson, and Peter Zinne...
