San Francisco, California, USA:
Irving Asher (1903–1985) war ein US-amerikanischer Filmproduzent. Geboren im September 1903 in San Francisco, begann er seine Karriere als Filmproduzent 1919 in Hollywood. Nachdem er bei Warner Brothers angefangen hatte, wurde er Mitte der 1930er-Jahre als Geschäftsführer deren Tochtergesellschaft Teddington Studios in Middlesex nach England entsandt. Dort entdeckte er Errol Flynn, der damals ein junger, unbekannter Schauspieler war und in den Teddington Studios nach einem Einstieg ins Filmgeschäft suchte. Flynn spielte seine erste bedeutende Rolle als Hauptdarsteller in dem heute verschollenen Film „Mord in Monte Carlo“ (1935), der von Asher produziert wurde. Anschließend arbeitete Asher für Alexander Kordas London Film Productions an dem Monumentalfilm „Die vier Federn“ (1939). Danach kehrte er nach Hollywood zurück und war als Produzent für Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer tätig, wo er für den Film „Blossoms in the Dust“ mit Greer Garson aus dem Jahr 1941 seine einzige Oscar-Nominierung erhielt. Später in seiner Karriere war er Produktionsleiter bei 20th Century Fox Television. 1934 heiratete er die Schauspielerin Laura La Plante. Asher starb im März 1985 in Kalifornien.
