Livingston, Harold

Entry updated 27 November 2023. Tagged: Author, Film, TV.

(1924-2022) US screenwriter and author, perhaps best known as the scriptwriter for Star Trek: The Motion Picture (1979). His first novel, the nonfantastic The Coasts of the Earth (1954), was published misleadingly as by Harold E Livingston. His fourth novel, The Climacticon (1960), spoofs Sex obsessions in a borderline-sf tale (see Leisure). [JC]
