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.

In the intervening months, however, the status of many stars and many pictures changed many times. Some dropped out of the top listings and then came up again. Others never regained top place. It was only as Photoplay held its presses for the pages on which this announcement now appears, while bur machines pounded and our statisticians worked day and night, that the last vote was counted and we were able to announce — The People’s Choice for 1946 is: The most popular feminine star, Ingrid Bergman. The most popular male star, Bing Crosby.
