Logan Carter was an American entertainer and photo model. He appeared alternately as a man or a woman and used the professional alias Roxanne Russell. Carter was a featured female impersonator at the La Cage nightclub on La Cienega
Boulevard in Los Angeles in the early 1980s. There he often performed forcelebrities living in the area, sometimes creating a sensation by "doing" one of the famous women in the audience. "Starting as Florida Teen, He Danced Across International Stages" --Jack Nichols. Lynn Davis, a foremost photographer who took arty androgynous pictures of him, discovered him. A shot from that series appeared in The New York Times. In male clothing, he posed for Ian's, New York's (Greenwich Village's) first punk-rock clothing store. “Logan died in Hollywood Community Hospital in June,1988. AIDS. He was thirty-three. His most passionate lovers were at hand and the thousands who loved him from afar smiled through their tears in appreciation for having seen him or known him.” Bobby’s headstone reads “Beloved free spirit.”
