Editing José Ferrer (section)

===Theatre director and Cyrano===
Ferrer made his debut on Broadway as director with ''Vickie'' (1942) in which he also starred. It only had a short run.

He played [[Iago]] in [[Margaret Webster]]'s Broadway production of ''[[Othello]]'' (1943–44), which starred [[Paul Robeson]] in the [[Othello (character)|title role]], Webster as [[Emilia (Othello)|Emilia]], and Ferrer's wife, [[Uta Hagen]], as [[Desdemona (Othello)|Desdemona]]. That production still holds the record for longest-running repeat performance of a [[Shakespeare]]an play presented in the United States, going for 296 performances (it would be revived in 1945).

Ferrer produced and directed, but did not appear in, ''[[Strange Fruit (novel)#Adaptations|Strange Fruit]]'' (1945–46), starring [[Mel Ferrer]] (no relation).

Among other radio roles, Ferrer starred as detective [[Philo Vance]] in a 1945 series of the same name.<ref>Old Time Radio Researchers Group, [https://archive.org/details/OTRR_Philo_Vance_Singles Philo Vance — Single Episodes] at the [[Internet Archive]]</ref>
