Motion Picture Magazine - October 1961

Welcome to Magazine Monday. From October 1961 its Motion Picture Magazine. This magazine has a fun Disneyland article and some pretty interesting celebrity stories. The Pat Boone article was kind of boring so we’ll skip it. That’s little Debby Boone on the far right, way before she lit up anyone’s life.





The Beach Nuts Invade Disneyland! That's right, Connie Stevens and her “rip-snorting bunch of uninhibited Beach Nuts” invade Disneyland and it will never be the same!




Here’s each page separately.





Where is the Mine Train Parked? It looks like a maintenance area or was this part of the attraction?




Those wacky Beach Nuts will do anything for a gag.





Alice looks like the waitress at my local deli? These are some great photos aren’t they?

When I first saw this article I was going to make a joke about May Britt looking like Jodie Foster, but what I find disturbing is the articles reference to her “alabaster skin” – it’s hard to believe they wrote that.





A truly fascinating look at Marilyn Monroe just 10 months before her untimely death. You can find the second page here (link) and the third page here (link).





The last page of the Marilyn Monroe article lists the 27 times in 9 years that Marilyn suffered illness or injury. Judging by this article I'd say her death wasn't untimely at all…

Those blondes are talking about Rock again – I bet he’s thrilled.







There’s only a few full page color advertisement in this issue so they’ll just be sprinkled here and there. Speaking of blondes!




He still looks like this today.







Liz and Eddie are Diplomats Hollywood Style. If you’re a Liz & Eddie fan there are ton of photos here.










This ad is interesting, I guess you’re just supposed to know that's Sal Mineo so they didn’t bother to mention his name. Also I included the left edge of the magazine that is normally hidden by the binder. Of all the magazines I’ve scanned this is the only one to have markings indicating what the magazine is.
