Gilbreth, Frank Bunker, Jr.
▪ 2002

      American novelist and journalist (b. March 17, 1911, Plainfield, N.J.—d. Feb. 18, 2001, Charleston, S.C.), drew on his madcap experiences as one of 12 children in a household run by parents who were engineers and efficiency experts to co-write (with his sister Ernestine Gilbreth Carey) the best-selling memoir Cheaper by the Dozen (1948; filmed 1950) and its popular sequel, Belles on Their Toes (1950; filmed 1952). He was also the longtime writer (1947–93), under the name Ashley Cooper, of the “Doing the Charleston” column for the News and Courier (now the Post and Courier) newspaper in Charleston.
