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.

Geni Charlesworth , Hi amigos! We finally whizzed by Bill and Katy Mosier’s cute little El Chiquito Mexican restaurant, 4211 West Olive in Burbank. It’s not so small at that, but the Mosiers have wisely broken up the various dining areas with booths, dividers and hallways. Luncheon was being served, and because of close proximity to the studios, we looked out for the rush. Margueritas, and delish they are, go for a mere 80c per so you can see why the bar is lined from 11 A.M. until 4 P.M. when the late afternoon cocktail bunch and diners-out arrive. We found the Enchiladas Rancheros topped with Spanish sauce, strips of green chiles, sliced avacados, sour cream and onions to be just “our cup of tea.” Beans and rice are served with this at $1.50, and very good, too. Tacquitos Rancheros a bit different for the Mexican food adventurers. Plenty of free parking in rear of El Chiquito Inn and mucho hospitality. Our good friend, pianist-singer, Ed Dudley, and very talented side man, Joe Comfort, who formerly played with the late Nat Cole musical aggregation, are holding forth these days at Mr. Blue’s beautiful Carriage House across from NBC on Burbank. Count Michael Gaszynski, owner-host of Michael’s Canoga Inn, 21129 Sherman Way in Canoga Park, is home again from a month-long visit to his homeland of Poland, England and Rome. Mike has gathered some new recipes and ideas for the restaurant during his visit. Youthful Christian Bernaert, Michael’s associate, kept the customers happy during Mike’s absence and passed along some rather interesting bits information about the restaurant business, here as compared to Belgium which is Chris’s native country. Christian’s father, Henri, still owns and operates at the ripe age of 81, The Royal Aster in Ostend. Henri once worked in Gothem’s famed Waldorf Astoria and so Page 33
