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.

Won't write letters She adores French fried onions and all kinds of flowers . . . cant abide, birds in cages or arithmetic. She’s always chewing gum and always full of zip. Her name is Doris Day BV JOSEPH HENRY STEELE ALL THE THINGS SHE IS • She suffers claustrophobia in elevators. “Especially in the Empire State Building.” She will not wear a red dress. She does not smoke. She hates to make decisions, sleeps “like a rock” and rarely eats ketchup. She was baptized Doris Kappelhoff. She sleeps in shortie nightgowns. She loves baseball, drive-in movies and breakfast in bed. She is an inveterate gum-chewer. She cannot stand the sound of a chalk scratching on a blackboard or the crunch of a bite into an apple. “It gives me goose-pimples.” She wears a size 12 dress and is very fond of hot dogs with chili and onions. Her parents are of German extraction. As a little girl she was very popular with the boys. She hates cooking, doesn’t mind washing the dishes but is particularly proud of her skill as an ironer. She has never seen a bullfight, “. . . and I never will!” Her favorite color is bisque (a kind of light sandstone) which predominates in her home and her cars. She never gets seasick and puts no stock in the alleged benefits of matrimonial vacations. She married her agent, Marty Melcher, in 1951.
