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.

Chris says in Europe, his father, just as most prideful restaurant-hotel owners, still do daily early morning marketing for fresh and top quality vegetables, fruits and other items needed for their restaurants. He also says the problem of getting help for the restaurants there is much worse than in our country because many of the younger people are going into professions such as doctors and lawyers but are not eager to serve as waiters or learn to be a topnotch chef. “Our steaks in the U.S. are the best in the world,” Chris points out, “but try to find the perfect milk-fed veal which is served in Europe.” “Very few places here can afford to serve it, even if they can find the authentic milk-fed veal.” Another difference in restaurants is wine service,” adds Chris. “Over here, very few people will pay $20 for a bottle of wine, but in Europe, where wine with dinner is de riguer, that is not an uncommon occurance.” “One of the things we can really boast about in Belgium,” says Chris, “is the wonderful pastries, waffles and ice creams.” “They are truly the best in the world with all kinds, and different types and flavors plus butter, sugar and whipped cream toppings.” Ye olde ed thinks it would be mighty dangerous for a dieter in Belgium! We asked Christian about the number of diners served a night, say, in a fairly popular Belgium restaurant. He tells us that, as a rule, many places are quite small, or in a “seasonal” or resort area, so often times, to serve 15 persons a night is usual! Altogether some interesting revalations from our Belgium-American friend, Christian Bernaert of Michael’s Canoga Inn, Canoga Park. OUT OF THE VALLEY DINING TIP: Our friendly cuisine afficinado, Leonard Shannon, invited us to meet CHIANTI’S youthful new owner, Jerry Magnin, and also observe the changes in decor and sample the new menu. Chianti’s, &s you dear Diners and Do’ers probably know, has long been famous for Italian specialties. Now, under Magnin’s youthful enthusiasm and creativity, the charming old place has acquired added lustre plus the wonderful aura of old. For appetizers, we had deliciously rich, dipped and deep-fried Italian cheese with a marinara sauce, garnished with strip of anchovy. I can only say that the meltingly good fettuccine selected by Shannon for us, and the suggested Polio Alla Romano and Bistecca Fiorentino enjoyed by all of our party, was a fine example of the classic, Italian cuisine» Page 34
