                 LogBook Master Index:  Babylon 5 Biographies
                 ---------- compiled by Earl Green ----------

   These nifty little resumes were prepared as part of the movie and series
promo packages by Warner Bros. for publicity purposes.  I have rearranged them
into alphabetical order by the cast or crew members' names, and in the numerous
cases where someone showed up in both publicity packages, I combined the bios
to save space.  The wording - in many cases very repetitious - is not mine!
(Note - the Chris Franke bio is from the liner notes of his album "New Music For
Films, Vol. 1," Varese Sarabande VSD-5393.)
