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 Classic Film Buffs MABEL NORMAND (1894-1930), a tiny Bostonian who became a great comedienne of the silents, was a protege of Mary Pickford's mother. One of Mack Sennett's most celebrated "Bathing Beauties", she gained stardom as a tomboy in "Mickey" and at the height of her career, a weekly salary of $10,000. But she died broke, at 36, after a long bout with tuberculosis. *** REGINALD DENNY, born in England in 1891, started as a comedian in films, progressed to stiff-upper-lip Britisher roles, virtually retired from movies in 1950, but consented to feature roles in "Cat Ballou" and TV's "Batman", shortly before he died. *** Movie Where the Collections are: MOVIE WORLD CARS AND PLANES 6900 Orangethorp Ave., Buena Pk. 90260.
