Lowell Sherman Lowell J. Sherman (October 11, 1885 – December 28, 1934) was an American actor and film director. At a time when it was highly unusual, he was both the actor and director on several films in the early 1930s, before completely transitioning to the role of director. At the height of his career, after scoring huge successes with his direction of the films "She Done Him Wrong" and "Morning Glory" (which starred Mae West and won her first Academy Award for Katharine Hepburn respectively), he succumbed to pneumonia after a brief illness.
