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.

Hollywood is too full of extras and bit players who were once stars but who didn’t have sense enough to save their salaries. And today the savingfor-tomorrow situation is even more important. Only a lucky few remain in the top earning brackets more than seven years. And during that time there is a heavy financial drain on star pocketbooks plus up to seventy-seven per cent income tax on top earnings. Okay, so who are the inflation beaters?
