Fan magazines were very popular in the 1930s and 1940s. Moviegoers could buy any one of dozens of "fanzines" to read about the latest movies, keep up on the latest Hollywood gossip, and to get portraits and articles about their favorite stars. See the section here on the Judy Garland Database for lists of magazines, covers and online articles about Judy! Fan magazine portraits are often very beautiful, and many are in full color. Many of these portraits can be found only in magazines today.
