Screenwriter Frank Pierson died earlier today. He was a rare master of the craft. There won’t be a voice like his ever again. You will be missed, good sir.
In addition to the iconic Cool Hand Luke, Pierson also wrote Dog Day Afternoon and wrote and directed A Star Is Born. More recently, he wrote the “Signal 30” episode of Mad Men — the one with Pete Campbell’s dinner party.
