Rosana Logan (c1905 – unknown), was a child actor in silent short films made by the Reliance Motion Picture Corporation, then known as the Reliance Stock Company.[1] She appeared in Solomon's Son (1912), Half a Chance (1913), The Wager (1913), and Under the Gaslight (1914).[2][3] On September 21, 1914, she was in the play "The Revolt," a melodrama in three acts by Edward Locke, at the Adelphi Theater in Philadelphia, that was later made into a 1916 film.[4] She played the part of the dying child, Nannie Stevens in the stage play, but not the film. As a ten-year-old she was in the film The Lady of Dreams (1915).[3]
She was the daughter of Katharine W. De Forest, a writer for Harper's Bazaar.[5]
Personal life
[edit]On June 27, 1929, she married Joel Gutman Cahn (b. 1885) in a ceremony at All Saints' Episcopal Church in Bayside, Queens.[5] They had a son, Robert A. Cahn, in 1933.
Mispelling
[edit]Her first name is often mis-spelled Rosanna (in IMDB and some film reference books), but it was consistently spelled Rosana both in the silent film magazines of her heyday and in her New York Times wedding announcement.
