☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join free# Movie Love #20 This issue contains multiple romantic stories tied to Hollywood films and performers. One story follows Judy Leroy, whose photograph appears on a magazine cover, leading to romantic complications when she becomes involved with a man named Melvin Hoover and a magazine editor's interest in her story. Another narrative depicts a female ballet dancer's romantic encounter with a man named Monsieur Kelly in Paris in 1948, detailing how she shyly avoided meeting him initially but was later reunited with him two years later when he returned to Paris to make a film and requested a screen test with her, ultimately leading to their marriage to George Hormel II in September 1951.
Judy Leroy lands a part in a theater show and dreams of stardom—until she accidentally meets Melvin Hoover, a photographer from Look Magazine, when he crashes into her at the zoo. When Melvin offers to photograph her for a magazine spread, Judy's interest in both the opportunity and the charming cameraman grows, even as she tries to juggle her existing romance with Harry Flack. What starts as a professional arrangement quickly becomes something more complicated when Melvin shows up at her home—leading to mishaps that throw her whole household into chaos.
Leslie Caron's path from Parisian ballet dancer to Hollywood star unfolds through a fateful encounter with Gene Kelly—first in 1948 when shyness made her slip away before they could meet, then years later when he invited her to screen test for a film. That test led to an M-G-M contract and her arrival in America, where by 1951 her life had transformed entirely.
