Description:
Radio Mirror (later known as Radio and Television Mirror) was a fan magazine for radio listeners and later TV viewers that includes profiles of the stars, visits to radio and television studios, and program listings. The early years in the 1930s show the interaction of motion pictures, recordings, the stage, radio and even politics. The role of radio in World War II is well covered in the 1940s, and by the 1950s the focus shifts to television and a new generation of personalities. -- David Pierce, 2013

We'll wade in deeper, and say it's hardly been touched. No newspaper figure has been more consistently flayed in print — and for obvious reasons. Being colorful, she presents a target for satire. Rising head and shoulders above her -competitors, she presents a target for envy. Her legend, like most, combines a grain of fact with an avalanche of fancy. Johnny-come-latelies like to call her a chatter artist. Those who know her record salute her as a crack reporter, with thirty-five tight-packed years behind her of chasing and nailing the news. Born in Freeport, Illinois, the printer's ink in her veins came flooding through while other youngsters played with dolls. At the age of ten she penned her first major effort, hurried over to the local newspaper with it, and got turned down flat. Soon after, she fell out of a hayloft, all but breaking her neck. This she (Continued on page 81) She's warmer, mellower now — but those three C's assets. Louella Parsons can be heard on Sunday nights at 9:15, EST, over ABC stations, sponsored by the Andrew Jergens Co. The Gay Illiterate, Louella's autobiography, brought chuckles — and frowns. Louella follows her stars — to the Stork Club this time — with Docky for escort. 39
