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

Once she caused scarcely a ripple in Hollywood, but now — Paramount Photos SHE is feminine perfection, as exquisite and symmetrical as a bit of Sevres porcelain, as vibrant as the plucked string of a violin. Her allure is that of irresistible beauty — a beauty which strangely combines the freedom and naturalness of a wind-swept English moor with the sophistication and smartness of Monte Carlo. Loveliness like Madeleine Carroll's is such a precious thing, you 18 think when you see her, that there's no wonder it is also rare — a gift of the gods bestowed only on the favored few. Yet Madeleine Carroll had to learn to be beautiful! There was a time, short years ago, when she appeared in films and made not a ripple on the surface of the public's attention. If you saw a few of those early motion pictures of hers you must remember (if you remember her at all) that her beauty was nothing to bowl you over. How she changed — what she did and continues to do for her beauty — is an exciting story, exciting because it is a revelation of what you or any woman may do to benefit herself.
