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.

songwriting as a good way for her to relax while her shoulder mended. Since she had always loved music and poetry it was exactly the right prescription. Marilyn and Alan met at a songwriting workshop, at which Marilyn was assigned to criticize Alan's work, while Alan was assigned to criticize hers. With her encouragement Alan soon realized he was better at writing words than music, and teamed up with Marilyn. They shortly found as much work as they could handle. They subsequently married in 1958 and their daughter Julie was born 2 years later. They lyricized "Yellow Bird" for the Norman Luboff Choir's album "Songs of the Carribean," and that song has since become a standard with over 100 recordings. Other successes followed quickly . . . "Nice 'N Easy" written for Frank Sinatra and the title song of his best selling album of the same name; "That Face", written for a Fred Astaire TV special, and "Make Me Rainbows", from the motion picture "Fitzwilly", recorded by Nancy Wilson, Vic Damone and many other top vocalists. In 1967 the Bergmans together with Quincy Jones wrote the prize-winning song of the 1967 International Song Festival of Rio de Janiero, "The World Goes On". They next wrote several successful songs for Sergio Mendes, including the lyrics to the throbbing title tune of his album "Look Around", which climbed to the top of the charts. A request for a "Peace Song" by Barbra Streisand was the inspiration for their song, "One Day", introduced by Miss Streisand at Lincoln Center in New York and included in her album, "What About Today?" The Bergmans have managed to avoid both the overly sentimental, saccahrine ballads and incomprehensible abstract rock, finding a comfortable niche in-between that seems to please a lot of people, both young and old. Neither will take credit for a particular lyric idea. They insist they play an equal role in everything they write. *** Madrid, Spain — When a dozen camels proved too unruly each morning to be used in scenes for "The Horsemen," locationing here for Columbia Pictures, director John Frankenheimer, with an eye to lost time, discussed the matter with camel handler and came up with the solution. All the beasts needed to calm down, after being penned up all night, was a 30-minute walk - half-mile down the road and back again. CHEVY'S BACK!
