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.

Someone once said that marriage is a house that has to be rebuilt every day by both partners. One alone can’t rebuild. If the house falls and crumbles to ruins, both partners are responsible. Any honest person who’s had to settle for divorce feels the sadness of his or her share in the failure. I myself am divorced from Joseph Fisher, the father of my four daughters and three sons.
