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.

This ‘new’ Grace sounds very much like the ‘old’ American Kelly of pre-royal days — minus, of course, a career. But the photos of Jacqueline— particularly those with Caroline surrounded by local children — have (coincidentally?) coincided with the activities of the ‘new’ Princess Grace, who recently invited forty Algerian children to vacation in Monaco.
