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.

What is The Council of Associated Studio Employees?" COUNCIL OF ASSOCIATED STUDIO EMPLOYEES ORGANIZATION COMMITTEE P.O. Box 8212 Universal City, Calif. 91600 I would Iike to know more about C.A.S.E. Name_ Address_:_ ; __ City_ State.__Zip_ ö ince a travel advertisement recently appeared in STUDIO MAGAZINE, there have been many inquiries from our readers as to just what the ‘Council’ is, and what are it’s aims and purposes. The travel portion of this unique Organization is only a small facet of what is hoped will become a group of employees in the industry who join together for mutual fun and profit. It is by no means the purpose of the Council to supplant existing Studio Clubs such as those at Warner Bros., Paramount, Universal City and many others, but to augment them. Studio em¬ ployees, in all phases of their work are often times regarded as a ‘stränge breed of cats’, and in the past many social groups have declined them ad- mission. Our industry is by nature very transient, and all too often a skilled craftsman, or secretary has found himself (or herseif) more or less cut adrift from the benefits which have accrued to them by being employed in a Studio other than that in which their Studio Club membership origi- nated. While it is very true that the cost of mem¬ bership varies from Studio to studio, and that the benefits are many and varied, the Personalities be¬ fand the formation of the Council have heard many expressions of interest from fellow workers that there is a need for a single Organization which can and will provide these benefits, both social and personal, no matter where the member may be employed, or for how long a time. This is the basic premise of THE COUNCIL OF ASSO¬ CIATED STUDIO EMPLOYEES. By publication time of the next issue of your STUDIO MAGAZINE it is hoped that complete details will be available to all of our readers. Meanwhile, if the basic principles as outlined above appeal to you as an individual, employed in this most fascinating of all professions, we’d like to hear from you. It will be possible to keep abreast of the progress of the Council in either or both of two very simple ways: 1. Watch for the October issue of STUDIO MAGAZINE; and 2. Fill out the Coupon below. In either case . . . there is NO Obligation! 5
