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.

Born prematurely on Valentine’s Day, Vittoria Gina Gassman weighed four pounds, ten ounces and was promptly placed in an incubator. Pity! Vittorio wanted a son so badly. But when Shelley called him in Italy, where he’s in a play, he was, of course, delighted. . . . ’Tis true her studio may not know where Marilyn Monroe lives (they have to contact her through her agent), but Cal can tell them. The “bad” and the beautiful one checked out of the Beverly Hills Hotel and into a brand new apartment on North Doheny Drive. It’s very modern and exclusive with only six units to the building.
