Live and act
Born in 1910 in New York City as the son of Clayton Johnson Heermance and Caroline Collyer, Richard Heermance earned his first spurs in 1944 as the editor of smaller film productions by director Allan Dwan , with films such as Up in Mabel's Room , Abroad with Two Yanks and Help, Me am millionaire (1945) (still under the name Richard Heermance). In the 1950s, more expensive productions such as Anthony Mann's western The Man from the West with Gary Cooper were included . In the 1960s, he was the editor for John Berry's adventure film Danger in the Valley of the Tigers with Clint Walker and for James Neilson's western Hot Colts in Fists with Robert Taylor and Chad Everett .
At the beginning of the 1950s, he joined Allied Artists as a film producer to oversee low budget productions and smaller B-movies . This resulted in some small independent productions with well-known cast, such as the Western Wichita with Joel McCrea (1955), Planet des Horens (1956) with Hugh Marlowe , Nancy Gates and Rod Taylor or the crime film Death in Small Doses (1957) with Peter Graves and Chuck Connors .
From 1960 on he also worked increasingly as an editor on television productions, including for the series Gauner gegen Gauner with David Niven and Charles Boyer and shortly before his death on the series Twen-Police (four episodes, 1970–1971).
Richard V. Heermance died on January 10, 1971 in Los Angeles at the age of 60. His older brother was the American actor and television presenter Bud Collyer, who was born Clayton Johnson Heermance Jr. in 1908 and died in Greenwich, Connecticut in 1969.
