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.

is so good it should do better at the BO than “Bob & Carol” and wait till you hear Dionne Warwick sing the title tune. We hear “Drive, He Said,” starring William Tepper and Karen Black is even better than “Easy Rider” or “Five Easy Pieces,” both hailed as excellent films as well as boxoffice bonanzas. If this is true, Karen should become a household word, if she’s not already after being nominated for an Academy Award for her first important role in “Five Easy Pieces.” (She had a small part in “Easy Rider.”) Charles Jones, prop maker at the Columbia Ranch, is a proud father these days. His daughter Denise graduates this month from the Thomas A. Edison Junior High School with honors. Denise qualified as an Honor Student in the Vth rank of the Golden Circle for the semester ending in January and received membership in the Edison Scholarship Society for the semester ending this month. Jones’ son Darrell also graduates this month from Freemont High School, Jones himself, in addition to his work, is an active volunteer at the Halfway House in West Los Angeles. See you next month. * * * DISCOURSE Continued from Page 13 The Johnny Otis Show is one of several rhythm and blues revues summoned from the graveyards of pop music by an ever growing group of rock and roll revivahsts. If you’re on a nostalgia trip, pick-up J.O.’s latest 2 record set recorded live at the 1970 Monterey Jazz Festival. It features the greats, and near greats, of R&B including Eddie “Cleanhead” Vinson, Little Esther Phillips, Big Joe Turner & Margie Evans. Johnny’s son Shuggie Otis “knocks ’em dead” with his beautiful, flawless guitar backup and leads. If you respect and support American institutions, spin this platter at your next sock hop. * * * If you like music, you should be glad there are people like Bob Gibson, Heidi Robinson, Mike Ochs, Norman Winter, Stu Yahm, Michael Sherman and Bob Garcia. Without people like them is without harmony in the business. Thank you All! *** Actor Mike Farrell, who plays Sam Marsh in the CBS-TV series "The Interns" makes no bones about the way he turns on for one of the nurses in an upcoming episode. His reasons are valid enough. She's Judy Farrell, his real-life wife. . . . On the other hand, Alex Henteloff, the Henry-character in "Young Rebels", ABC-TV action-adventure series based on the American Revolutionary War, is sniffling a lot these days. He's allergic to horses. A Lot of Value for such a Small Car! ROMAN GABRIEL & MERLIN OLSEN PORSCHE AUDI 15531 VENTURA BLVD.
