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.

DON’T MAKE ME LAUGH - (that is a Jim Dash) by Jim DASH Did you hear about the senator who is screaming for Free Enterprise to take over the U.S. Mail just because his cousin took a train to Washington in a new dress and everytime the train stopped at a station, she was thrown off with the mail sacks? Haw! Haw! Haw! “Fang pushed me out of the car and got a ticket. Yeah, a ticket for littering.” -Phyllis Diller Now that he has his new fishing license, he’s ready for those moments of truth that are near at hand. Those are those Monday mornings when one fisherman can call the other fisherman a LIAR. -Ralph McClure Trooper Larry Storch tells of the Irishman who on Friday went into the Commissary and ordered a whale steak and a beer. We have no whale steak, apologized Connie. Then make it shark cutlets, said Pat. We do not serve them either, solaced Connie. Well, heaved the disappointed Pat, bring me a porterhouse steak and a beer. As Connie left, Pat glanced Heavenward and, with self-imposed penance, said: Lord, you know how hard I tried? (said Leonard Corey ... it sounds like Ole Pat Bailey) And then there was the time that Les Hydeman was knocked unconscious on the Eddie Leonard set. Stand back, said Eddie, give him air and some brandy . . . Les opened his eyes and said, faintly . . . never mind the air. —1929 Universal Bulletin Another of those Dean Martin homecomings: Last nite when Dean tripped in there was Jeanne standing on the Welcome Home rug pointing at him. I missed you, she cried . . . the bullet was imbedded in the ceiling. (In the February issue of the ‘STUDIO,’ we reported that Jeanne’s salute raised the roof.
