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.

Producer H. Werner Buck likes to keep up on the latest. Here he is being greeted by pretty Miss Southern Highlands attractions at the third annual U.S. Travel Conference, recently held in Atlanta, Georgia, and sponsored by Discover America Travel Organizations, Inc. Buck’s next big outdoor extravaganza is the 7th Annual Sports, Vacation & Recreational Vehicle Show, January 6-16, at Anaheim Convention Center. "Between acting jobs!" Dann E. Hadzick has found a way to beat the unemployment problem for actors. Between acting jobs, Dann is a transportation captain for movie companies. His latest film is the Howard B. Jaffe Productions’ “Labyrinth” directed by William A. Fraker for Columbia Pictures and starring Robert Shaw, Sally Kellerman, Mary Ure, and Sondra Locke. However, in “Labyrinth,” Dann is not an actor - he has charge of all the automobiles that transport the cast and crew to locations for filming. As an actor, Dann is especially remembered as the gambler who won all of Omar Sharif’s money in “Funny Girl.” His latest acting job was one of three heavies in “Man Without Mercy” with Sammy Davis Jr. and Aldo Ray. “Roles for actors are few and far between,” said Dann. “If an actor doesn’t have another profession or job, he may starve.” Dann was “discovered” as an actor when he was a transportation driver for producer Carl Foreman. Foreman needed an Indian chief in “Mackenna’s Gold” and Dann was it. Since then, Dann has played all kinds of character roles — but between parts he’s back on another picture as transportation chief. During filming of “Labyrinth,” among those furnished transportation by Dann was Sally Kellerman. “If I’m lucky,” said Dann, “I’ll be an actor in her next picture.”
