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.

When I ran into her again a couple months later in New York, something in my heart said, “Come on, Mark, don’t be scared, take a chance,” and I did and asked her for a date. We decided to meet the next day since we both had our afternoons free. Nei ther of us was working. We were both interested in acting and had come to New York to study. Why am I telling you all this?
