The Scandalous Covers of Hollywood Nights


Hollywood Nights was a pulp magazine that was published from 1930 through 1932 and then again in 1936 and 1937.  Judging from the covers, it was a magazine that featured what would have then been considered “racy” covers about what went on behind the scenes of Hollywood.  The covers were largely pin-ups of aspiring and usually scantily-clad actresses, either posing for the movie camera or getting into some sort of trouble.

Here’s a small sampling of the covers of Hollywood Nights!  Where known, the artist has been credited.
