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.

For instance, lacking extras, the company tapped the resources of a nearby institution for the mentally disturbed, (schizophrenics, manic depressives, and the like). Once he had explained to them that they were "somebody else" and created the somebody for each of them, he admits he'd never found such cooperative performers. What he did not tell the audience after the singular showing was that he had also brought in some juvenile prisoners from a nearby penal institute and taught them how to handle projection and take care of the film. "Never," he admitted, "had film been so beautifully cared for - and these boys are still caring for it." All in all, this Williamsburg film is a rewarding experience. One major comment — The U.S. came into being, kicking and screaming against oppression. We were born in revolution. This film is a strong reminder. Tom Jones invited a group to the Candy Store to see the first beaming of his new series on television. By eleven, the host had not arrived, and when he finally did, most of the guests had gone. The tardy singer then remained until two in the morning. Among those who came and left earlier, in addition to yours truly, were Edward G. Robinson, Polly Bergen, Rosemary and Robert Stack, and the Burt Bacharachs (Angie Dickinson), Movies tell it the way it is hen Claudette Colbert and Clark Gable found each -other obliged to spend a night together in "It Happened One Night" in the '30's, they played it cool — in buttoned-up pajamas and a "wall of Jericho" sheet strung between them. Streisand and Segal (she's the Pussycat, he's the Owl) don't let anything come between them. They cavort in bed in the buff, bathe together in the buff — and handle a pot-high with veracity ... in the bathtub. Doesn't everyone? ***
