Helen Logan (December 13, 1906 – January 15, 1989) was an American screenwriter active from 1935 to 1950.
[2][3] Eventually she began writing her own screenplays for Fox, working on two popular franchises, Charlie Chan and the Jones Family.
She wrote many of her scripts in collaboration with writer-director-actor Robert Ellis, who she began working with around 1934 and married at some point after 1940.
[3] In fact, in 1938, Ellis was sued by actress Vera Reynolds for $150,000; Reynolds alleged that Ellis had promised to marry her but instead took a trip to Mexico with Logan.
[4] Ellis and Logan had separate contracts but made the same salary.
