Фрэнк Перри

Frank Joseph Perry Jr. was an American stage director and filmmaker. The 1962 independent film David and Lisa was nominated for two Academy Awards for best director and best screenplay. The couple would go on to collaborate on five more films including the cult classic The Swimmer starring Burt Lancaster, Diary of a Mad Housewife starring Carrie Snodgress, and the Emmy award-nominated A Christmas Memory, which was based on a short story by Truman Capote and also adapted by his wife Eleanor. Frank Perry went on to form Corsair Pictures, which was privately financed by United Artists Theatres, producing two film flops, Miss Firecracker and A Shock to the System, before folding. His later films include the Razzie Award-nominee Joan Crawford bio drama Mommie Dearest and the documentary On The Bridge, about his battle with prostate cancer. Author Justin Bozung is currently writing the official biography of Frank Perry titled Character is Story: The Life & Films of Frank Perry, which is due out in 2018.
