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’ve learned to mean it, too. “Every profession has its hazards. Doctors lose patients, lawyers get adverse court decisions. An actor must plan on seeing the unexpected, even the untrue, about his personal and professional life appear in print.” Because he is honest, and natural, Gregory Peck has had more trouble than a lot of Hollywood poseurs.
