Irving Florman (1892, Poland - May 9, 1981, Manhattan) was appointed U.S. Ambassador to Bolivia by President Harry Truman. His appointment was based on what was considered “unorthodox” qualifications because he “had been a Manhattan inventor (cigarette lighters, mine detectors), and a sometime Broadway lyric-writer (Chauve-Souris, 1943).” He served as Ambassador from November 1949 until September 1951, when he resigned for health reasons. A resident of Manhattan at the time of his death, he died at Roosevelt-St. Luke's Hospital.
