- Born in Russia in 1869, Ivan Abramson emigrated to the US while in his 20s. He went to work for Jewish newspapers. He became interested in the film business and in 1914 founded Ivan Film Productions. He produced several successful films, and even went into business with William Randolph Hearst to form the Graphic Film Corp.
Abramson's films were more on the "risque" side--for the times--with titles like A Child for Sale (1920), The Sex Lure (1916) and Enlighten Thy Daughter (1917). He made his last film, Meddling Women (1924), in 1924. He died in New York City in 1934.
