Description: Black and Tan Books offers ... Picture Scope Magazine: July, 1955 (June McCall) Author:Staff Written Publisher:Maglab Publishing Corp. Pub. Date:1955 Format:Softcover ISBN: Condition:Collectible: Very Good Notes: July, 1955 issue of Picture Scope Magazine featuring a cover photo of mid-century pin-up model, sometime film and TV actress and ultimately tragic figure June McCall - an iconic example of Hollywood's early exploitation of beautiful women. At 17, McCall was a Vargas Girl, later the focus of over 300 cheesecake cover photos sometimes snapped by legendary photographers such as Andre de Dienes, Bernard of Hollywood, Earl Moran, Tom Kelley, et al, occasional B movie actress (notably in the SF camp classic Queen of Outer Space), frequent TV guest and chronic alcoholic, getting outrageously drunk at her first wedding and continuing to drink heavily throughout her short life, ultimately dying at the age of 55 from alcoholic liver disease in a Van Nuys, California hospital. Generally, McCall passed up few opportunities to put herself into the position of being seen. By her own admission, she said, "I want to be a great actress. That's why I'll pose in anything they want me to, as long as it gets my name in the papers." McCall was best known for her striking red hair tumbling in curls to her shoulders, her turquoise eyes, a perfect figure (36-26-36), a constitutional distaste for posing nude and her signature fish net stockings. Of special note in this issue are a tw0-page article about McCall with three photos, one famously showing her being "dressed" in soap suds and another detailing Hitler's practice of slow-hanging his would be assassins. 132 pp. 7 1/2" x 5 1/8". Tight, immaculate copy. Extremities crisp. Unmarked front to back. Faint age toning to internals. An unusually presentable copy of a collectible mid-century cheesecake publication.
