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.

First time Van and Evie dated after break in T isn’t that Keenan and I have quarreled bitterly,” Evie Wynn explained. “I love Keenan. He’s a wonderful person and my opinion a fine actor. But Keenan is the kind of person who is happiest doing things that have no part of home-making.” She had come in answer to our suggestion that the story of her and Keenan and Van Johnson should be told not as Hollywood imagines it but as the truth about three people and what has happened to them. “Keenan is a great organizer,” she continued, “and a go-getter once he sets his heart on a thing. For instance, once he decided on little theater work, nothing stopped him. He went to Laguna and for four weeks last summer acted in and directed plays there.
