Hollywood Patterns<br />
Created by Conde Nast in 1932, the Hollywood Pattern Company quickly became popular<br />
due to the photos <strong>of</strong> favorite radio and movie stars that graced the envelopes.<br />
Collectors <strong>of</strong> Hollywood memorabilia <strong>of</strong>ten look for sleeves with their favorite stars.<br />
Original pattern prices ranged from 15 cents to 25 cents. Their manufacture stopped<br />
after World War II and due to their short production span they are harder to find and<br />
considered highly collectible.<br />
Hollywood patterns with the Movie Stars are sometimes easy to date. If the bio<br />
mentions "Starring in...." you can go to the Internet Movie Data Base and search the<br />
Star and the particular movies and get real close to the year.<br />
Dating on the early Hollywood patterns doesn't seem to be as important as the front<br />
cover content and the stars that were featured.<br />
A starlette knew they had arrived when they were featured on a Hollywood Pattern<br />
Cover. Their head shot and a personalized design and artist rendering was there for the<br />
world to see. This type <strong>of</strong> publicity during the Great Depression entered more homes<br />
than magazines and newspapers.<br />
