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.

I could even hear them sniffing — some of them — about my coming back to marry Harold, after I'd discovered I couldn't do better for myself. None of this was true, but I knew they'd never understand. They wouldn't believe that the show I'd been in had not closed because it failed, but because the star and the backer had had a quarrel. They would just smile and go right on believing I was a flop. I could never explain to them that there were hundreds of young girls like me for every small part that came up and that, sometimes, it took years before a young actress ever got a chance to show what she really could do. That was the part that hurt most. I didn't feel that I'd had a real chance. I still believed in myself, in my talent, and it seemed so un fair to have to give it up, just because I didn't have enough money. Kay plunked herself down on my suitcase and struggled with the snap.
