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.

Coldwell, Banker REALTORS W hen it comes to dreaming a little, lyricists Marilyn and Alan Bergman are realistic enough to know that their big dream for "Pieces of Dreams" will have to come from a bundle of ballots. And the ballots themselves have to come from a whole bundle of members of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences. Briefly, what the Bergmans really want, almost to the exclusion of anything else this season, is a small gold statue named Oscar. And they want him for a song, a real one which they wrote with Michael Legrand. The title? "Pieces of Dreams." It wouldn't be the first time they won an Oscar. In 1969 they won an Oscar for their song (again written with Legrand), "The Windmills Of Your Mind." Earlier this year they were nominated for an Oscar for their "What Are You Doing The Rest Of Your Life?" (again with Legrand) from the movie "The Happy Ending." The Bergmans are that rarity of all rarities - a husband-and-wife lyric writing team. They are probably the most successful married team of lyricists in music history. They were born at the same hospital in Brooklyn, New York, but met for the first time in California as a result of a "happy" accident. Alan was a television director who had come from CBS-TV in Philadelphia. He met Johnny Mercer who listened to Alan's songs and liked them enough to encourage him to pursue a song-writing career. In the meantime Marilyn had injured herself in an accident and had come to California while recuperating. A friend from New York suggested
