Randall Frakes was a film and science fiction writer primarily known for his novelization work with long-time friends Bill Wisher and James Cameron on The Terminator and Terminator 2: Judgment Day. While Frakes was in the U.S. Army, he was stationed in Europe, where he edited the newspaper for the 16th Signal Battalion. While editor, he won a Stars and Stripes award for investigative journalism. After the Army, he earned a degree in Film Writing and Production from Columbia College, while also writing for Analog, Fantastic, and Fantasy & Science Fiction. His first film work was as a special effects cameraman for Roger Corman, and a number of unproduced screenplays, before his collaborations with Wisher and Cameron, initiated his film-writing career. Frakes died on 25 June 2023. (Via Wikipedia)
