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.

LUSH VERSA L CITY STUDIOS M ore than 600 Head Start youngsters and their parent [chaperones were the guests of Universal Studios Tour Center for a free Easter Party on Saturday morning, April 5 and 9:00 a.m. The Head Start Easter Party is part of Universal’s continuing Community Involvement Program which was initiated last December with a Christmas Party for Head Start children. The youngsters, 4-6 years of age, were treated to a puppet show at the studio’s Palace of Entertainment, a special animal show and a Hollywood stunt demonstration. Refreshments and Easter candy were distributed and each child also received a specially-prepared set of Lego Building Toys from the Samsonite Corporation. Project Head Start, a program under the auspices of the Economic and Youth Opportunities Agency, provides educational, medical and social services to economically and educationally disadvantaged children. Mrs. Elois D. Jones, Head Start Parent Education and Involvement Advisor said: “We are extremely grateful to Universal Studios for providing this educational and entertaining program for these youngsters. We feel that such programs assist in making these children better able to adjust to a society which is often alien to them.” Mrs. Jones said that the children attending the party come from six different ethnic groups, including Japanese, Negro, Mexican-American, Chinese, American Indian and Caucasian, and that this event was the largest single activity ever presented for Los Angeles Head Start children. 1=1 Page 8
