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.

on a new film, “Sandpaper Highway” in which he will co-star with James Franciscus, Slim Pickens and Catherine Byers, a new actress from Broadway. The film will locale in Texas and New Mexico and is a story of modern-day bank robbery. Doug. plays a psychopathic killer who really doesn’t look like one. In the film he will be using an elephant gun and, although an expert in the handling of rifles and pistols, his knowledge of an elephant gun is limited so it has been necessary that he spend considerable time in being instructed in this specialized weapon. Doug also admits that he will have to read-up on psychopaths as a character of this type is certainly foreign to him. But being the conscientious actor that he is there is little doubt in anyone’s mind that he will not be ready to portray the character like a real trooper. On the more intimate side of the ledger, Doug is a bachelor, lives in an apartment and spends a great deal of his free time with sports. He loves to swim and during the summer months you'll find him in the pool every day, unless he’s on the tennis court which is another fascinating hobby of his, and if you’re unable to catch him in either place you might try the nearest football field. How he does all these things we'll never know but every Saturday morning you are likely to see Doug on the football field at UCLA where he engages in the rough and tumble game with a group of friends. He also owns a Triumph Daytona 500 motorcycle and rides it frequently. A devout reader, his library is growing with best sellers and books on theology and metaphysics. He loves good music, both jazz and classical intermixed with a sketchy selection of popular tunes. And this isn’t all, folks! On a part-time basis Doug is an instructor in Radio and TV News Announcing at the Don Martin School of Radio and Television but it is necessary that he teach his classes at night — there just are not that many hours during the day for him to schedule all the things he accomplishes. One nice thing about his teaching chores— when a good film role comes along the _ school is generous enough to cover for him until he returns. So this is Doug Dudley, a special kind of individual whose future in the land of make-believe looks promising and with his sure-fire determination and ability he will most certainly make the grade; *** Rennaissance Faire & Maytime Market iP A MISCHIEVIOUS SORCERESS urged on by a wilely companion attempts to cast a playful spell upon unwary travellers in an authentic re-creation of 16th Century life at the 11th Annual Renaissance Pleasure Faire & Springtime Market being held the weekends through May at the Old Paramount Ranch in Agoura.
