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.

Packer & Mellette “Friends” The enormous popularity of Woodstock (the event), and the nationwide success of Woodstock (the film), has initiated a blissful trend of rock and film alliances. To avoid being compared with “The Rock Film,” several approaches have developed to lure young, large audiences. “Performance” had Mick Jagger playing a fictitious rack star in an eerie, violent psychological drama. “Friends” features a score by the creative dynamo, Elton John and Bernie Taupin. The film is a beautiful, sensitive love story, with a 14 year old girl and 15 year old boy as the lovers. “Gimme Shelter” follows the Rolling Stones on their American tour. It culminates with the Altamont fiasco which has somehow gained great import as signifying an end to innocence of Woodstock Nation. “Mad Dogs & Englishmen” documents Joe Cocker’s U.S. tour which covered 39 cities in 57 days. The film co-stars Leon Russell who organized a 42 member group for the tour. The result is a tailor made, beautifully recorded story, which concentrated on the music. Cocker’s popularity was originally established at Woodstock when he was touring with The Grease Band. There is no formula or method in combining rock music with film. “Woodstock” was one example, not the ultimate example. Music made it happen and it will happen again as music and film continue to evolve. * * * WHAT’S HAPPENING!
