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.

And suddenly I felt . . . everybody’s laughing at me Kim Novak walked swiftly into my Hollywood apartment, nearly slamming the front door behind her. She tossed her tailored camel’s hair coat onto a chair, sat down on the couch, slipped her shoes off and then leaned back against the large beige cushions. She didn’t speak for a moment, then slowly her drawn, tense expression faded and her face began to relax. “I’m so tired I could just about die,” she began suddenly. “I haven’t been sleeping well.
