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.

NEW SOUND STATE, NEW FEATURE FILM SETS ADDED TO UNIVERSAL Sound stage No. 37 and the whimsical “PUFNSTUF” sets inside are the newest weekend attraction on the Universal Studios Tour. Thousands of visitors to the Tour on weekends now enter the newest stage on the lot and stroll through the “Living Island” set where the Sid and Marty Kroft production is filming. Based on the “costume-character” children’s show on NBC, the set greets visitors with wild colors, fantastic designs and a whacky island where trees, buildings and even rocks are alive. The Mayor, PUFNSTUF, and young Jimmy (Jack Wild) try to escape the clutches of wiley Witchiepoo (Billie Hayes). Sound Stage No. 32 was revamped during the summer and is used seven days a week. It explains many Hollywood secrets by demonstrating the methods of rear screen projection, the use of mock-ups, indoor-outdoor sets and a cross section of miniatures and special effects. Director Mel Stuart makes his second venture into theatrical motion pictures with the David L. Wolper production, “I Love My Wife,” for Universal.

Alfred Hitchcock listened incredulously as stars Dany Robin, Claude Jade, Michel Piccoli, Philippe Noiret and Michel Subor, all imported from France, rehearsed their English lines for him in a Paris scene for his production of Universal’s “Topaz.” After correcting the faulty pronunciations of each star, Hitchcock said: “Very well.
