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.

Take it from the top News notes on the Hollywood scene by Zelda Cini It's Oscar-time Again D espite industry-wide doldrums, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences is already racing against the time when that giveaway gold statuette named Oscar takes over the headlines. Three-time Oscar-winner Saul Chaplin has been named to coproduce, with Robert E. Wise, the 43rd Awards Program at L.A. Music Center, April 15, in NBC's living color. Preliminary screenings for nominations in five branches - Art Direction, Costume Design, Film Editing, Music and Sound — ended Feb. 1. Nominations in all categories end Feb. 22. (Incidentally, five branches represent six categories: all of the above, plus cinematography. And, like Gaul, all music is divided into three parts: best original score, best original song score and best song.) For the uninitiated, this preliminary voting does not represent nomination. It only represents 10 productions in each category from which eligibility for nomination will be determined. By some curious coincidence "Airport”, a George Seaton triumph, heads every list except "best original score", "best original song-score" and “best song". Do Elmer Bernstein and Bronislau Kaper, cochairmen of the Music Branch Executive Committee, have something against the raucaus roar of stranded airplanes? Have you worried about Robert Young? W 'ith current TV schedules revealed, it now looks like the indestructible Mr. Young might be seen by more than 120 million TV viewers on all three networks in different major shows between March 8 & 10 . That's assuming that people want to watch (a) Robert Young in "Vanished" on NBC, March 8 and 9; (b) Robert Young in "Marcus Welby, M.D.'' on ABC, March 9, and (c) The Pampers Special, "Robert Young and the Family" on CBS-TV, March 10. The latter opus, a Bud Yorkin-Norman Lear Tandem Production, directed by Yorkin, will include costar support from Beau Bridges, Lee Grant, Julie Sommars, Lurene Tuttle, Jack Warden, William Windom and special guest, Dick Van Dyke. All this Young stuff, coincidentally geared to one week, presupposes you don't forget at least one rerun of "Father Knows Best," which will undoubtedly be airing locally on some channel. For us aging folk, that seems like an awful lot of emphasis on the Young. Concerning Lucy Ball H ot on the heels of the announcement that Lucy, a many-time Emmy winner, will accept the 12th annual Gold Medal Award of the International Radio and TV Society for "achievement in or contribution to broadcasting" in N.Y., March 11, another earthshattering announcement was confirmed. Lucille Ball Productions officially moved Feb. 1 from Paramount studios to Universal, where the company will add some feature films to the continuing schedule of "Here's Lucy" TV segments. Filming on the Lucy series at Universal will start April 12. the 70's", now being repeated as a Feb. 1 start. Taught by Donald P. Lydon, practicing attorney and instructor, the course is designed to provide laymen with practical background for legal problems which can involve anybody. Check your TV guide for time. Rewards where rewards are due W ith Oscars and Emmys and the good-Lord-knows-what-else for professional film-making, it's refreshing to note that there's one emerging film festival willing to take a look at what's happening among young amateurs. In Atlanta, Ga., where there's an annual International Film Festival, (this year it's June 19-26), student films are permitted to compete, along with majors. The 1970 award went to an experimental film called "Omega", the product of UCLA student Donald Fox. Further, there are no entry fees for student offerings and return postage and insurance are paid by the Festival. Winners get cash grants, along with special awards, and are screened at a symposium of the best-of-the-lot during the week. Closing date for entries is April 15 and should be addressed to J. Hunter Todd, executive director, Atlanta International Film Festival, Drawer 30324, Atlanta, Ga. 30324. Interestingly enough, here's one judging which includes within its categories feature films, experimental, student films and video tapes, from 36 foreign countries. Screenings, some of which are open to the public, are held in Symphony Hall of the Atlanta Memorial Arts Center, a $13 million complex which houses the Atlanta Symphony, High Museum of Art, Alliance Theater and Walter Hill Recital Hall.
