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

"Let me give you a thumbnail sketch of me — at sixteen. That was in the middle 'twenties. You remember the middle 'twenties. Short skirts and long waists, shingled hair, baby vamp shoes. Well, just JANUARY, 1941 imagine what a shingle bob would do to this face — a moon face, with flat, fish hooks of curls all around it. Then imagine this figure — all shoulders and no hips — in the crackerboxes which passed for dresses that season. "Are you shuddering?" she said. "But how you've changed," I remarked. "That's the point. Nearly all of us are something less than our own ideal of perfection.
