And I also was gobsmacked that anyone would think they can show up at a studio when people are on the way IN to work on a long, demanding production day and be greeted/chit-chatted with! They probably felt they had to keep moving or would be snagged and caught forever. LOL about Mr. Goldsboro. Incredible that he's still at it!<br /><br />Gingerguy, you are so right about the amount of info/pictures. Think about HOW MANY PLACES there are for people to become famous now... movies, 1000 times more TV, youtube, instagram, etc... and yet there is so little anyone cares about most of today's "stars." Unless there's a scandal, real or imagined, it's mostly "meh" or what they are wearing. So little (if any?) of this mag mentioned the clothes... LOL about Liza and the derogatory letter about her and her talent! I have not yet seen "Bad!" Perry so needed to have a bigger career than he did.<br /><br />Dan, I thought the exact same thing about all the countless letters, questions and so forth....! They may have been culled from the mail rooms of other "Laufer Publications." For a time, they were apparently a big time purveyor of these types of things. I recall so many variety shows, many of which were flops (like "Pink Lady and Jeff!") But I must protest about Donnie and Marie. I saw them front row almost two years ago and it changed my life (which tells you how rotten and unfulfilling my life actually is! LOL!) They were wonderful and they also host a fan meet 'n greet several nights a week, though sadly not on the night I was there, much to my distress. <br /><br />Klee, neat that you used to read this back in the day. I never recall seeing this title anywhere!! I loved the '70s, too. And the '80s.Poseidon3https://www.blogger.com/profile/10465785002285422594noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4006108502645191096.post-58861740324626288492019-04-22T01:53:25.513-04:002019-04-22T01:53:25.513-04:00I used to collect Tiger Beat, RB's Gossip, RB&...I used to collect Tiger Beat, RB's Gossip, RB"s Hollywood and this very one Preview!!!

I loved David Brenner's humor and would love to see any episodes that may still exist of 'Snip'.<br />1976 was near the end of the variety show/musical special era, alas. I guess Carol Burnett had the last weekly variety show and Bette Midler's "Old Red Hair is Back" from 1977 is the last musical special I recall. Luckily, you can watch it on YouTube. <br />Considering this was the first issue, just where did all those ranting letters come from? Always guessed Donnie and Marie were a bit snotty!<br />Danhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01848827163648287162noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4006108502645191096.post-70141097660563159952019-04-19T11:25:39.886-04:002019-04-19T11:25:39.886-04:00Kind of mind blowing to think that this amount of ...Kind of mind blowing to think that this amount of fan facts and fiction was turned out month after month with accompanying photography. It seems like now I just see pictures of people in sweats leaving Starbucks.<br />I remember seeing Mother, Jugs and Speed in the theater with my Dad. I didn't know it was over for her that soon. I know she did Broadway and TV in the 80's.<br />Susie Coelho is mentioned several times. I think she is still around with cooking shows? I remember her cast as Native American in western movies on tv, but I think she's hispanic.<br />Those stories from other gossip mags are a great way of repeating a lie and then debunking it. Brilliant!<br />I loved reading about the gay disco called Frankenstein's. That I will have to look up.<br />"You Said It" is a scream, the Liza rant had to be from a confirmed bachelor.<br />Perry King is really hot in "Bad" such a mean funny movie. I had forgotten about it. When home video come out my friends used to gather and watch things like that, the good old days.<br />This was a trip down memory lane for me because when I was a kid I pounced on these magazines and read them cover to cover. Very fun to revisit.Gingerguyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17989371210392669145noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4006108502645191096.post-38543690340740675552019-04-19T07:20:22.763-04:002019-04-19T07:20:22.763-04:00Oh, where to begin?

Every time she is mentioned it is followed by (Mrs. Six-Million Dollar Man)! Also, I loved the rant about the Donny and Marie not paying attention to the crowds of fans outside the studio (never mind they are trying to produce a weekly variety show)! Finally, Bobby Goldsboro is still alive and producing art in the Florida retirement community where my Aunt and Uncle live. He may still use a can of hair spray a week but now it is on a very similar looking wig.Scooterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09874254346853382934noreply@blogger.com
