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.

The earning ability of these top stars is amazing. But most of them live lavishly from hand to mouth. Rita Hayworth was so broke when she returned to Hollywood, her agents had to loan her $100,000 to make a new beginning. The Cinderella star who married the son of the richest prince in the world doesn’t even own an auto, much less a home.
