What a fun magazine this is. The contents are so interesting and full of 1961 celebrities. It's a real early 60s trip down memory lane. The cover shows Dorothy Provine in her Roaring Twenties role. All inside pictures are B&W but very good ones, incuding a scrapbook bonus with full page pictures of Connie Stevens, Gardner McKay, Robert Conrad, and Tony Young. Other full page photos in this issue that have a pictorial article as well are of: Jackie Kennedy and Lawrence Welk. Then you have delightful multi-page pictorial articles on: Clu Gulager, Michael Landon, Liz Taylor in an hour by hour fight to save her life, "First Date Magic" with Connie Francis and many pictures on 4 pages; Troy Donahue with his wife to be Lili Kardell (4 pictorial pages); and one multipage pictorial article that I think is the most fun in which various celebrity male stars tell what they look for in a woman to marry. In some ways it is typical Hollywood, but lots of fun and here are the stars who give 10 things they want in a woman if they are to marry her amd there's a pic of each guy: Elvis, Rick Nelson, Raymond Burr, Fabian, Anthony George, Eric Fleming, Hugh OBrian, Tab Hunter, Ralph Taeger, Robert Fuller, Rod Taylor, and Dwayne Hickman. The condition of this magazine is very good. All pages are firmly intact in the secure binding. The covers are good, with just a thin minimal right edge discoloration (so faint and barely noticed) and a tad of rough edge on the right side. The interior pages have some yellowing from age but this does not detract from the photos and stories and is ever so typical of a magazine of nearly 50 years. The pages are clean and flat. I am sure this will not be a disappointment to the proud buyer of it. There are 66 numbered pages. Lots of movie gossip within and a great deal of ads, including a Frederick's of Hollywood ad (remember those?), Florida Fashions ad, Whirligirl dress ad, and lots of those tiny little ads where many of us recall sending in for various items like rings, pictures, songs, clothes, etc. And if all that were not enough, you have some pictures of other stars like Jayne Mansfield, Lloyd Bochner, Diane McBain and stars like Cindy Robbins, Polly Bergen, Lola Albright, Maguire Sisters, Donna Reed, Barbara Hale, Cara Williams, and Peggy Castle who give tips on making yourself beautiful.
