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.

You know so many of the stars, is it an illusion? If not — how do they get it?” No, not an illusion, for to the human eye as to the camera’s eye, the hair of the Hollywood stars — despite long hours each week sitting under dryers and working under the burning, hair-drying Klieg lights, despite the bleaching and the dyeing — does have the lustre, gloss and glow admired by Susan and thousands of her fellow teenagers. “After dyeing my hair time and again, picture after picture for almost thirteen years, you would think,” says Lana Turner, “that I wouldn’t have one hair left.” You would think so.
