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.

MEN and women don’t change because they’re married — so the old saying goes. But we don’t believe it. The change in the Hollywood girls when they become wives is often sensational. The most amazing metamorphosis of all, during my time in Hollywood, transformed the competent, headstrong bachelor Olivia de Havilland into the “Yes, dear, you know best” Mrs. Marcus Goodrich. Before the Goodrich impact on the de Havilland personality, she was easy going, wrote poetry, tramped for miles in the Hollywood Hills and took more than an interest in politics and problems of the day. She smoked a lot, ate a lot, talked a lot and was invited to all parties. She was a strong character, but very warm with a wide circle of friends.
