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.

Still the girl who won’t say “yes” to Howard Duff, Ava Gardner •lances with him at Beverly Wilshire on one of their frequent dates Jennifer Jones and David Selznick aren’t saying — but they may be married by the time you read this Gold Medal Guy: Cal dropped over to the Casa Crosby to congratulate Bing upon his winning the Photoplay Gold Medal, and couldn’t help noticing the way his face lit up when he showed us the letter penned by Gary, Phillip, Lindsay and Dennis, the day after the awards were announced. Cal would like to relay it to you: “Dear Dad: “You’ve done it again, huh ? Gosh, we thought that after the fourth Photoplay Gold Medal Award, you would move over and give another guy a chance. Of course, we think you really deserve a hundred gold medals — just for being you — the swellest pop there ever was. We can’t forget how you always stick up for us, like the time we had a tussle on the sunporch and broke up all the furniture. You saved us from spankings by figuring out how we could pay for the damages out of the money we made on the ranch. “We’re glad that the folks picked you again. Maybe if we get a chance to appear on your radio show, we’ll give you some competition next year. But seriously, we’re awfully proud of you, Dad, and you’ll always be the winner to us. Your loving sons.” 12
