Movie Life Magazine {April 1940}

I love movie magazines. There is something about them that I just love. Maybe it is the photos? The trivia? Interviews? I don't know what, but they sure are intriguing.

The magazine I'll be featuring today is one of my favorites - Movie Life (April, 1940). Why? It has an article of one of my favorite actresses - Deanna Durbin. That may, or may not be the reason why I bought this magazine. *grin*
Look! Cary Grant takes an old family friend to the premiere of My Girl Friday {I love that movie!}. Also the Los Angeles' Mayor greets Rosalind Russell at Girl Friday press party. In the bottom picture on the left, Olivia de Havilland is sporting the new pompadour hair-do. While on the right we have Judy Garland on a date to her movie, Strike Up the Band.  
Here we have, Errol Flynn, Anne Shirley, and Shirley Temple. 
 Next up we have a four page spread on Deanna Durbin. Enjoy!


Have you seen the film, Young Tom Edison (1940) starring Mickey Rooney? I grew up watching this film, so it was fun seeing this little spread.
This page is filled with stars! We have a wedding picture of Ronald Reagan & Jane Wyman. Katharine Hepburn {in a darling dress and pumps!}, Raymond Massey & Mrs. Roosevelt! That's just on the top row of pictures. Underneath we have Mickey Rooney, Pat O'Brain, Gene Autry, Olivia de Havilland, and many others!!


I hope you all enjoyed this little peak into one of my magazines I own. Let me know how you enjoyed it!

    I have never been into movie magazines--at least not the ones out today--but I love looking at these pictures. Your post really inspired me to watch some classic films though. These are the movies I want my little girls to watch, not the stuff Hollywood puts out these days! Thanks for the inspiration!

    Hi
    I love old magazines just as much as You do , but I do not know how I can get them its difficult here in India..I love the sepia pictures in the old magazines and get to know about the actors and actresses whom we have only seen through their movies...

    Love Love Love vintage! Have you seen Love Laughs at Andy Hardy? It is with Mickey Rooney. In the Andy Hardy movie series there is a season with Mickey Rooney & Judy Garland.

    Hello,

    Reading your profile, you sound much like the young girl I used to be...and was also home schooled.

    I have always found old photos intriguing, as well.

    Lovely post.

    :) Hope
