biography

Screenwriter John Logan spent ten years penning plays in Chicago before he hit box-office gold with scripts for the blockbusters "Any Given Sunday" (1999) and "Gladiator" (2000), and the multiple-Emmy nominated HBO drama "RKO 281" (1999). Raised as a Navy brat, Logan spent a peripatetic childhood and when he entered Northwestern harbored dreams of an acting career. After taking a writing class, though, he quickly shifted gears and set out to be a playwright. Working steadily for nearly a decade, he churned out several plays that were based on factual events, such as 1985's "Never the Sinner" Continued
