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 the Classic Film Buff COLLEEN MOORE (Aug. 12, 1902) made her first film for D.W. Griffith as the heroine in "Bad Boy”; won movie immortality as the star of "Flaming Youth”, the embodiment of the flapper of the 20's; survived the talkie era with stardom in "Smiling Irish Eyes”, Edna Ferber's "So Big”; co-starred with Gary Cooper in "Lilac Time” and retired from the screen in 1934 after "The Power and The Glory", to devote full time to her fabulous multi-million dollar Doll House, a palace in miniature. Widowed in 1970, she lives in Chicago and is currently wintering in Beverly Hills. *** Classic Film Buffs With this issue, STUDIO Magazine innovates a direct appeal to classic film fans - and to collectors of movie memorabilia. We have a new editorial department and a new classified section especially for movie hobbyists. We'll be running feature stories on the "big ones" of the old days, along with actual size reproductions of autographed photos of the stars of the 20's and 30's. If you express interest, we'll set up a Letters Column, where you can exchange data with other readers, ask questions and, hopefully, get answers. Pass the word along. * .'...— 1 ■■ " """ 1 . 15505 ROSCOE BLVD, at Sa>i Diego Free way • SEPULVEDA TURN TO PAGE 34 ***
