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.

Now comes an appeal from Dr. Chester M. Pierce, professor of education and psychiatry. Harvard faculty of medicine, graduate school of education. The Black Psychiatrists of America Film Project is looking for writers who are able to turn out scripts to be made into TV films primarily aimed at black children. Dr. Pierce and Dr. Gail Allen will coproduce for distribution through NET. Purpose of the project, according to Dr. Pierce, is “to make black children aware of the things they can do to obviate the effects of racism and, at the same time, work for its removal... We would like to influence the children to be more cooperative and unified. We wish them to see the advantages of collaborative behavior.” And about time, too! *** SCIENCE FICTION & FANTASY FILM ARCHIVES 30,000 stills, scripts, books, magazines, props. 915 So.

I would be deUghted with the exchange of my Newsletter and your magazine. In addition, I am enclosing a copy of my “The Greatest Stunts Ever” which I hope you find of interest. How about an exchange of “Ads” also. I would like to place an ad in your magazine and perhaps you would too. Would you be interested in doing a story on me and my collection of “Movie Memorabilia”? I’m sure your readers would be! STUNT-ingly yours, Johnny Hagner Thanks for the note. You’ll be hearing from us. Studio Magazine: Your August edition featuring Judy Garland was an excellent one. This edition was my introduction to the magazine. The articles are precise and informative. Why not do a spread on World War H’s favorite pin-up girl, Betty Grable. One' that could compare to the August issue.
