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.

Like deaths, the pattern of Hollywood break-ups seems to run in a cycle of three's. Rosemary Clooney and Jose Ferrer began the latest cycle, followed by Dinah Shore and George Montgomery. The third spot is still open — but not for long, unless the singer and her hubby settle their differences. Bing Crosby claimed it was only a touch of virus that put him in a San Francisco hospital. But I've been tipped that he underwent an operation for the removal of kidney stones. It's the third such operation he's had. The suit that Lili Kardell slapped on Troy Donahue for $60,000 plus never came to court. Troy's studio persuaded him to make a settlement, and all Lili received was what she originally asked for: a new two-piece suit (hers was ripped beyond repair) and approximately $3,000 to cover her medical and legal expenses.
