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.

THRU THE | STUDIO GATES | | HE’S OUR PEOPLE’S KIND OF PEOPLE — Actor Karl Lukas of Canoga Park is currently playing a feature role in the new hit play, “People Need People”, at the Horace Mann Playhouse, 117 S. Hamei Drive, in Beverly Hills. A Brooklyn-hased Broadway actor with many hit plays to his credit, Lukas now lives in Canoga Park with his wife Stephanie, daughter Valerie and son Mark, and they are all 100% Californians. Active in community and church projects, he is representative of today’s actor, who may just be a member of the Chamber of Commerce when he isn’t on stage. He can be enjoyed in “People Need People” through Aug. 7. The play is directed by Alan Jay Factor. MIRACLES CAN HAPPEN! A handshake in the Biblical manner is shown in this scene from “Calem’s Encounter” in which Bill Evans as “Jonathan” meets Frank Roach as Peter. Gregory Roach is “Jonathan’s son”. Despite limited money, sassy weather, and re- stricted studio facilities, three dedicated film makrs and their equally fervent cast hope to have the half-hour film on TV screens this fall. Producers are Frank Roach, Bill Evans and Jack Scellato. The film will pilot a projected series on the lives of Christ’s disciples. FATHER WILL FIND A WAY - “Calem’s Encounter” is a labor of love for these two film creators, Jack Scellato (left) and Larry Barbier. Scellato is acting producer of the film and Barbier its cameraman. Frank Roach directs, with assistant directors Bill Evans and Pat Latuna. Back¬ ground is not Palestine but a portion of the campus of California Lutheran College in Thousand Oaks. “WHOA, THERE NOW, SMOKEY!”—Man and mount, Fess Parker and Smokey, are co-stars of the Aaron Rosenburg picture based on the Will James story, “Smokey”. Scores of Valley children trooped to 20th Century-Fox studios for a special preview of the picture, soon to be re- leased. Following the screening, the young viewers were the guests of the producers for a hamburger lunch.
