My first love: Picture Show, which I first got in 1959, and then religiously every week. - and of course those American magazines like Movieland & Tv Time, Screen Album etc., with their full page colour pictures of Troy and Sandra and Connie, Sophia, Audrey, Marilyn and then Liz and Eddie and Debbie ....
I loved these small monthly magazines [Fans Star Library, circa 1958, when I would have been 12] on a particular star each month, I had them all once, covering Grace Kelly, Doris, Debbie, Pat Boone, Kim Novak, Jeff Chandler, Rock Hudson, Perry Como, Ricky Nelson, Marilyn, James Dean, Elvis etc. Collectors' Items now ....
a few pages from Dirk Bogarde's Story In Pictures: what the fans devoured in the '50s: no wonder Bogarde loathed it all ! (click image to enlarge).
