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.

Beginning in 1921, Photoplay bestowed its annual 'Medal of Honor' for the film readers voted as the best of the year. -- Eric Hoyt, 2011.

I guess we could use a laugh,” smiled Debbie. “Well, there was a young starlet who went to see a psychiatrist, and when the doctor asked her what the trouble was, she said, ‘Everybody likes me. Wherever I go, I make new friends. Everybody thinks I’m wonderful. There must be something wrong with me!’ ” Dean threw his arms out wide, and hung his ( Continued on page 82) I 52
