Gerold Frank (August 2, 1907 – September 17, 1998) was an American writer and
ghostwriter. He wrote several celebrity memoirs and was considered a pioneer of the "as told to" form of (auto)biography. His two best-known books, however, are ''The Boston Strangler'' (1966), which was adapted as the
1968 movie starring
Tony Curtis and
Henry Fonda, and ''An American Death'' (1972), about the
assassination of Martin Luther King Jr.
