Tamara Asseyev is an American film producer and writer.
She began her career in the film industry as a production assistant for Roger Corman, working on such films as The St. Valentine's Day Massacre (1967) and The Trip (1967). She directed a five-minute prologue for Corman's The Pit and the Pendulum (1961) when that film was sold to ABC-TV in 1968, as the network had asked for the film to be padded slightly to fit a two-hour slot (with commercials).
In the late 1960s, Asseyev began producing low-budget independent films, including Daniel Haller's Paddy (1970) and Curtis Hanson's Sweet Kill (1973). She eventually graduated to producing such studio-backed films as Robert Zemeckis's I Wanna Hold Your Hand (1978), John Milius's Big Wednesday , and Martin Ritt's Norma Rae (1979). Norma Rae was nominated for several Academy Awards, including one for Best Picture. Asseyev has also produced many television movies.
She has co-written three books with Elizabeth Nickles, Always Kiss With Your Whiskers: Love Advice From My Cat (1991), Heavy Petting: More Romantic Advice From My Cat (1997), and First Cat, Second Term: Socks Pussyfoots His Way Back into the White House (1997).
