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.

And they did. Her opening scene was done in complete reverse. There was no knitting of tiny garments, to be discovered by a surprised spouse with a “you mean?” accompanied by a modest dropping of eyelashes. Then “Darling” and the big clinch. No walking out of a doctor’s office with stars in her eyes, bumping into buildings and plucking daisy petals as she walked.
