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.

FROM BUGGY-WHIPS to Duesenbergs. That’s the new route for Bud Cohn (1.) president of Le Cercle Concours, manufacturers and sales company for 1971 Duesenbergs, with Glenda Farrell, first Mayor of North Hollywood, comedienne of stage and screen, mother of Tommy Farrell (2nd from right) and friend of actress Joan Blondel) *** A new Duesenberg.. Super Toy By Bill Pollock Who ever said that time travel was only the province of Rod Serling., Was it even conceivable that the first mayor of North Hollywood, Glenda Farrell, would some day find her son in the buggy-whip business? Tommy Farrell, the only begotten son of Glenda, and resident actor for the Valley since 1933, was happy playing with cars - and the stage - sometimes at the same time. Tommy has been a sports-car buff and announcer at local races since 1956, He is also on the board of directors of Le Cercle Concours, the most respected organization of its kind in the country. It all started when three men were discussing the profit-potential of taking over a failing buggy-whip company. One of the men Fred Duesenberg, Jr. who had mumbled his name on being introduced, said; “How about making Duesenbergs?” The others looked at him like he was crazy. A chap named Bernie Miller, who later became president of the Duesenberg Corporation, said; “We were talking about buggy whips. Who are you?” - “My name is Fred Duesenberg, Jr.” i I I 10
