The producer of six Pink Panther films and the Dudley Moore comedy 10, Tony Adams, has died at the age of 52 following a stroke. Dublin-born Adams died at Beth Israel Hospital, New York, on Saturday.
He produced most of his films for director Blake Edwards, including the Pink Panther movies, Victor/Victoria, The Man Who Loved Women and Blind Date.
Adams, who also produced theatre, is survived by his third wife, actress Anne Runolfsson, and four children.
He was a partner in Hello Entertainment, which develops and produces shows for New York's Broadway.
The 1995 stage version of Victor/Victoria that Adams co-produced, starring Julie Andrews and Tony Roberts, ran for more than 700 performances.
He also produced Julie, a short-lived TV series starring Andrews, in 1992.
