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.

‘y-rc TODAYI’M LIVING ITU “ What’s going to happen tomorrow ?” I used to worry. Until I realized I was letting life go by. So .. . BY BOB WAGNER • I came across Terry Moore in the studio commissary one lunchtime a number of months ago and she was looking pretty thoughtful. “One of the magazines wanted me to write a story about you, R.J.,” she told me. “But I just couldn’t do it.” “Why, Terry!” I teased. “And after all the things they say we’ve meant to each other!” “But they wanted me to tell about the serious you,” she grinned. “How could I? I’ve never seen you when you weren’t on top of the world. I’ll bet you were even bom smiling.” That’s me — the original laughing boy! Or so you may have heard. However, there are two sides to every story — even the one Terry didn’t write. If I give the impression that I’m enjoying life every minute, it’s strictly on the level. I am. And when I say it’s a gift, I’m not being flip. The ability to make the most of each day is a gift given to everyone. It’s our job to learn to recognize it — to take advantage of it. I’ll be the first to admit that it isn’t always easy. I’m a fellow who knows and, more often than not, I’ve learned the hard way.
