WilliamAsher worked in various roles in Hollywood, from the mailroom, the screen writer, and director, and his professional career really...
Asher came from the sort of rough and tumble family immersed in the world of vaudeville, silent films and early talking pictures, where his father Ephriam Asher was an associate producer, and his mother Lillian worked as a clerical assistant at the MGM Studios.
After his father's death, the excitement of a life in the new and daring film industry was replaced by the bottle for a Catholic mother whose Jewish associate producer-husband had died young, leaving her the burden of rearing children during The Depression.
Asher got out of the service after a few years, never being sent overseas during World War II (a fact that he says probably saved his life because he just couldn't take orders very well and often ended up in fights) and headed for Hollywood to get a job in the motion picture business.
