She was 96. Ms. Frank, who came by her name after her mother adopted the professional name of Harriet Frank Sr., was a longtime Hollywood fixture who began writing screenplays in the 1940s. Ms. Frank was born March 2, 1923, in Portland, Ore., as Harriet Goldstein. She was strongly influenced by her mother, who was the host of a radio show in Portland, for which she altered her name from Edith Frances Goldstein to Frances Frank. Frances Frank moved in 1939 to Hollywood with two of her children, including Harriet. Soon after, the mother took her daughter's first name as her own, becoming Harriet Frank Sr. In addition to her screenplays, Ms. Frank published short stories and two novels, "Single" (1977) and "Special Effects" (1979). She remained best known, however, for her film writing with Ravetch) |
