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.

It was interesting to see the long line of young people there, indicating Hitch’s popularity is universal. Charles Bronson movies were playing, and Jack Nicholson in “‘One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest”’ was also popular. The buildings in downtown Stockholm, such as the Marble Theater, the ornate opera house, and the magnificent Palace, as well as certain apartment houses date back hundreds of years. But they retain their classical splendor, and elegance. With so many watery inlets many of the apartments face the water, and have a view of the hills bd mountains, and ocean as well in the distance. Certainly, Sweden is spectacular, and impressive. Bohuslav Schoun reads Hollywood Studio Magazine in Prague Laurel & Hardy in Oslo, Norway bookstore window From here to Oslo, Norway. The city of Oslo is also situated on the water. It has beautiful sloping hills and mountains that provide a perfect setting for a seaside city. We stayed at the traditionally elegant Grand Hotel in the heart of downtown. The Ibsen statue in front of the National Theater is only a couple of blocks away. A park, with fountains, trees and a perfect place to walk, and see the city. Certainly, ‘Song of Norway” producer Virginia Stone was right when she told me to take a trip from Oslo to Bergen. On her advice, I re-routed the trip to include Bergen. The white mountain peaks in the distance, with the bright blue inlets down below were awe-inspiring. Continued in the next issue.
