Biography

Harvey Frand was born on October 3, 1940 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA. He was a producer and production manager, known for Battlestar Galactica (2004), Battlestar Galactica: Razor Flashbacks (2007) and Beauty and the Beast (1987). He died on July 23, 2009 in Los Angeles, California, USA.

Domestic partner of producer Bill Bowersock for over 32 years. They lived together from 1977 until Frand's death in 2009.

After Frand's death, his domestic partner of 32 years, Bill Bowersock, was forced to leave their home, since as two men, their partnership was not recognized as a marriage on the federal or state levels, and Bowersock was not eligible to receive Frand's Social Security benefits the way a heterosexual widower would have been. Bowersock allowed LA-based photographer and documentary filmmaker Shawn Nee to make a short film called "Thank You For Your Call" on his moving day to raise awareness of the lack of parity for gay couples who don't have marriage rights.
