"Dog Day Afternoon" Writer Frank Pierson Dead at 87Posted: July 24th, 2012 by WorstPreviews.com Staff
|
  Frank Pierson, who won an Academy Award for best original screenplay for "Dog Day Afternoon" and was nominated for two Academy Awards for adapted screenplay for "Cat Ballou" and "Cool Hand Luke," died Monday in Los Angeles of natural causes following a short illness. He was 87.
More recently, Pierson served as president of the Academy of Motion Pictures Arts and Science from 2001-05. He was also working as writer and consulting producer on "Mad Men" and had served the same duties on several episodes of "The Good Wife."
Pierson won Emmy awards for TV directing: "Truman" (1995) and "Conspiracy" (2001). He also garnered a CableACE award for "Citizen Cohen" (1992), a biopic on the notorious Red baiter Roy Cohn.
The writer is survived by his wife Helene, his children, Michael and Eve, and five grandchildren. A private funeral for the family will be held this week.
