Joshua Logan started directing plays while he was still at Princeton
and among the first actors he directed were
Henry Fonda and
James Stewart. His graduation from
Princeton was delayed to accompany a classmate to Russia to study with
Konstantin Stanislavski,
inventor of "method acting". Stanislavski told him, "To be truly
creative you must find your own way, you must not follow some old
Stanislavski method". Stanislavski emphasized the importance of the
writer and Logan was proudest of the plays and films that he wrote as
well as directed. His second wife was the widow of actor
Walter Connolly who was 9 years his
senior. He published his autobiography in 1976 and died in 1988.
