Description:
Radio Mirror (later known as Radio and Television Mirror) was a fan magazine for radio listeners and later TV viewers that includes profiles of the stars, visits to radio and television studios, and program listings. The early years in the 1930s show the interaction of motion pictures, recordings, the stage, radio and even politics. The role of radio in World War II is well covered in the 1940s, and by the 1950s the focus shifts to television and a new generation of personalities. -- David Pierce, 2013

at eighteen, knows precisely where she's going, for she's more than half-way there already an adult person — who knows where she's going, and why, and how. Once you know Anita, you have no difficulty believing the things she tells you about her plans — ^for herself and for others. That she has "always taken care of my big sister," for instance. That she will "make a star of my best friend, Barbara Dreike." And that when she is ready, she will leave ballad singing behind, and go on to the career as a dramatic actress that she has set as her mark. These dreams aren't based on anything as baseless as mere wishful thinking. Anita knows from experience that when she w^ants a thing, she at least makes an awfully good try at getting it. Long ago she faced the fact that the career she wants means harder work, more sacrifices, more selfdiscipline than another kind of life — and that it would be worth it. Ever since her first public appearance — at the age of five — Anita has responded to an audience like a flow^er to the sun. Although her father is a butcher and her mother a housewife, Anita insists that acting is in her blood and bones. There's an explanation. "Daddy would have been a great actor," she assures you, "if he'd been born anywhere except Corsicana, Texas!" And Avho can deny it? (Continued on page 92) Anita gets into the suu — usually with Jay Fishbum — sometime between classes and shows.
