Description:
The leading Hollywood fan magazine of the 1920s and 1930s. Photoplay offered readers portraits of their favorite movie stars and stories about their personal lives. The magazine played an important promotional function for the Hollywood industry, but its editors and reviewers could also be highly critical of Hollywood. Beginning in 1921, Photoplay bestowed its annual 'Medal of Honor' for the film readers voted as the best of the year. -- Eric Hoyt, 2011.

Nobody noticed her much then. She was given bit roles to do and sent on press junkets such as the “Underwater!” preview in Florida. Having been on that trip, I can testify that Jayne rated hardly a glance. How the girl has learned in the meantime! Since starring in “Will Success Spoil Rock Hunter?” on Broadway, Jayne has mastered the art of publicity. In today’s Hollywood, even if she is only going to the grocery store, you see her togged out in a mink coat to her heels, over a dress that fits her tighter than her skin. She is never alone, either. But what a picture she presents, with her little daughter held tight by one hand and the big, dark, muscular former Mr. Billy Pearson and Vincent Price, find Terry Moore a changed woman since she became Mrs. McGrath The Lancaster -B or gnine feud soured the year for Burt L. 44
