Description:
Hollywood Studio Magazine was published out of the San Fernando Valley in various iterations (and various titles) from 1966 until 1992. What started as a local organ aimed at the workers of Hollywood ended as a nostalgic fan magazine about Hollywood Then and Now. The various title changes and revisions to its mission reflect not just the economic realities of magazine publishing, but a changing relationship to Hollywood and the industry itself. The earliest issues of Studio Magazine read like a house organ of a steady, entrenched industry documenting the comings and goings and notable events of the San Fernando Valley, with special emphasis on Universal. Fandom first became part of the discourse of the magazine through collecting. The Collectors’ Column page beginning in the early 1970s allowed memorabilia collectors to advertise their wares to each other. In 1983, the founder of the magazine, Dorothy Denny gave over the reins to Ralph Benner, the founder of Tiger Beat. This marks the clear separation between the original publication and its focus on Hollywood production culture and the move toward a publication centered on star narratives and fan culture. In covering the two and a half decades from the collapse of the system to the point where classical movie stars were phantoms instead of living people, the magazine offers insight into the transformation of old Hollywood from a lived reality to a memory to a myth.

North Hollywood PO 9-0209 No. 27 Century City Square CR 7-1272 Here I’m sitting, with the fellas, on Tuckers wall, chewing toothpicks and talking about the newly educated generation just hatched out of the Colleges. Wal, sed, Joe, from where I sit I would say that Ma and Pa and the square generation looked pretty good at those graduation exercises ’cause all of the babies wore shoes. Quite gratifying that sed graduates could now count over twenty. Some of the T.V. shots caught a dozen or so grads demonstrating by walking out on degree awards; but maybe they were the barefoot boys with cheek types, and their shoes pinched. Or it could be they had cold feet about something. Now back in old P.S. 158, N.Y. City we mastered addition early and did not have to resort to counting on our fingers and toes. Paddy O’Neil, our math teacher’s morning line called for shined shoes that reflected his image. Spit- shines got most of us by, but Arthur Murray, the future dance king, would lineup with shoes shined with stove polish. This polish covered the toothpaste spots he made when he stopped to brush his teeth, and gave a ghostlike hue of Paddy’s Irish glow. Me thinks that Mister James O’Neil got over his message of “Pride in One- self”, if you check back on the names of the boys in his lineup. Jimmie Cagney, Bert Lahr, Eddie Arnold, Martin Murphy, Vic Shapiro, Arthur Murray and N.Y. Chief Supreme Justice, Billy Hecht. All but Billy came west. They all were well trained in table manners, tho it is widely known that Jimmie Cagney pushed a grapefruit into Mae Clarkes face, and Bert Lahr chews potato Chips in public and talks with a mouthful. P.S. — I wore patent-leather shoes and was the teachers pet. .. . J. Foley David Tompkin's “write” hand for the “Grand Prs” coming up. 4
