Timeline
Recipient of the Austin Film Festival's Distinguished Screenwriter Award in 2003. The Award was presented to him by Brian Helgeland.
President of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences from August 2001 to August 2005.
President of the Writers Guild of America, West (WGAw) twice: 1981-1983 and 1993-1995.
A Harvard graduate with a degree in cultural anthropology, he was also a revered, but demanding, mentor; especially in his role as one of the founding writers at Robert Redford's Sundance Screenwriters Lab in the 1980s.
Famously authored a first-person account, published in both New York and New West magazines before the release of A Star is Born (1976), of the endless trials and tribulations of directing Barbra Streisand. He portrayed her as egocentric, manipulative and a total control freak. Needless to say, they never worked together again.
He was a producer and writer, known for Dog Day Afternoon (1975), Presumed Innocent (1990) and Cool Hand Luke (1967). He was married to Helene Szamet, Dori Pierson and Polly Stokes.
Made his feature directorial debut with The Looking Glass War (1970).
His most famous line of scripted dialog, "What we've got here is a failure to communicate", delivered by the prison warden, played by Strother Martin, to the inmate, played by Paul Newman, in Cool Hand Luke (1967), has been ranked by The American Film Institute as the 11th-best movie quote of all time.
He sold his first script to the half-hour anthology series Goodyear Playhouse (1951), which wasn't aired until 1959 (Goodyear Theatre: Point of Impact (1959)). Soon after he was writing and directing full-time for film and TV, beginning with Have Gun - Will Travel (1957), on which he also produced 61 episodes.
Pierson's mother, Louise Randall Pierson, wrote a best-selling book based on his family's life, "Roughly Speaking", which was made into the film Roughly Speaking (1945). The story includes the tales of three sons who enlist to fight in World War II, one of whom was modeled after Frank Pierson, who served in the Pacific.
