Movie Mirror debuted in the late 1920s, during the golden age of Hollywood, as a way to provide fans with inside looks at their favorite stars. The magazine featured glossy covers with major celebrities of the time, exclusive interviews, behind the scenes stories, and gossip columns.
Movie Mirror billed itself as “Filmland’s most beautiful magazine,” and indeed its painted covers by the likes of John Ralston Clarke were among the most striking to be found on newsstands. In the late 1930s the magazine began moving away from painted covers to photo-illustrated fronts designed to evoke the same mood. In 1941 it merged with Photoplay and ceased to exist as a distinct publication.
