Each row is a staging this name appears in the cast list of, read from the production record rather than from the person record. The person record names works instead, and a work cannot say which run somebody was in. That is how Elaine Stritch ends up filed under Show Boat 1927 when she was in the 1994 revival. No row here says what part was played, because no cast list records it.

Both names in the same cast list, more than once. It is not evidence of a partnership. A long-running company puts the same forty people together every night, but it is where one would start looking. 1 of these names are not links because we hold no record behind them; the name is set from the identifier and its punctuation may be wrong.

• Nobody said anything. Ella Logan had last appeared on Broadway in 1947 as the lead in Finian's Rainbow, and her role as the mother of Hop Kelly was to have served as the vehicle for her triumphant return to the stage.

• Ella Logan came in at about two a.m. Round-faced and sly, a woman in her early 50s, she wore a Hawaiian blouse and looked around the room with the exaggerated melodrama of a conspirator in a Shakespearean play.B001T4YWBO EBOK - Steven Suskin

What this page does not know

• What this person played. No cast list we hold records a character against a performer.
• Any portrait. Most people in this catalogue don't have one, so this is the usual case rather than the exception.
• Which of the credits above the roles on this record (actor) apply to. The roles sit on the person and never on a credit, so a director who also acted looks the same here as one who did not.
