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.

Audie had to paint and decorate their apartment completely by correspondence. So, Edith Head’s party for Wanda was a bride’s shower, rather than a bride-to-be shower. Edith’s parties, executed with as much talent and flair as the lovely costumes she designs for the stars on the Paramount lot, are just as famous. And when she planned her party for Wanda, she received fast and happy acceptances from Ann Blyth, who appears in Paramount’s “Top of the Morning”; Mona Freeman and Vanessa Brown, who worked together in “The Heiress”; Diana Lynn, who returned to the studio for “Bitter Victory”; Mary Hatcher, now in Columbia’s “Holiday in Havana”; Mary Lou Van Ness, secretary to Paramount players; Elizabeth Lingo, Audie’s cousin, and Wanda’s mother, Mrs. Mary Hendrix. * So the party would be more fun, Edith arranged for Wanda to be the last to arrive.
