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.

"Doctor Doolittle" Premiere BY GEORGE L. BAGNALL President of the Motion Picture and Television Relief Fund Julie Andrews and Burt Lancaster, Co-Chairman of "Dr. Dolittle" premiere benetitting the Motion Picture and Television Relief Fund. N ow is the time for all good men to come to the aid of their country! _ Charity begins at home! Et cetera. No matter what appeal I might make-it has already been said and written a million times. But when such an appeal concerns Hollywood, there are no compulsions that could stop me from repeating myself over and over again. When I think of Hollywood, of course, I’m thinking of the Motion Picture and Televisioh Relief Fund. Right now I am selling tickets to 20th Century-Fox’s West Coast pre¬ miere of the Arthur P. Jacobs’ pro¬ duction of “Doctor Dolittle,” star¬ ring Rex Harrison, Samantha Eggar and Anthony Newley. The date to remember is Thurs¬ day, December 21, 1967. The place is the Paramount Theatre in Holly¬ wood. And, most important as far as the people of Hollywood are con¬ cerned, all proceeds will go to the Fund’s $40-million Endowment and Building Campaign. 6
