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 visited Marilyn Monroe on the set of “Some Like It Hot,” she surprised me by 1.) saying that few of the girls in the picture’s all-girl orchestra were very good-looking — MM seldom comments about girls — and 2.) showing me the Photoplay plaque she won a few years ago and commenting: “I kept this award because I got it for my acting.” . . .
