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.

I enclose $ for candid pictures of my favorite stors and have circled the numbers of the ones you are to send me by return mail. Name Street City (Please Print) Zone State (Continued from page 43) Ruth Manheimer chats with Jeff Chandler Hollywood and then slips right out again. The Hollywood Scene: Terry Moore arriving at a dinner party in a plunging neckline and carrying school books! She had to attend her night class for Language Appreciation first! . . . It’s all been very hush-hush, but Judy Garland was so unhappy over her costumes in “A Star Is Born” famous Jean Louis at Columbia (who made that transparent number for Dietrich!) was allowed to take over . . . How ironical can fate be! Stewart “Beau Brummell” Granger finally got back to Jean Simmons from Europe — with his face covered with fever blisters! . . . And Bob Hope who fell asleep under a sun lamp, took one look at his flaming kisser and cracked: “This is the color Crosby turns when he tries to put on his shoes!” Blonde Blitz: Battle fatigue is nothing compared to the minor revolution caused by Marilyn Monroe’s visit to Korea. Her skin-tight, low-cut, purple satin gown that caused all the commotion is for business purposes only. Joe Di Maggio doesn’t like it, so his dutiful wife promised never to wear it when she’s at home baking a cake! Although the GI’s had Marilyn’s calendar picture pasted all over their barracks, they were conspicuously missing when she* paid them an official visit. When Marilyn announced over the loud-speaker that she couldn’t sing because of a “chest” cold — Korea almost collapsed! Star-Studded Evening: The Gold Medal Awards Banquet was the final fling in a round of wonderful evenings at which Mr. Irving Manheimer, publisher of Photoplay, and his gracious wife, Ruth, put in an appearance. Among those hosting were the Lex Barkers, the Tyrone Powers and the Stewart Grangers.
