I recently framed a magazine cover (Pizza 2006, my publication) with Tarja from her last days in Nightwish along with a Local Crew pass that were handed out to guests on the final gig in Stockholm on that fateful tour in 2005. I think it looks kind of cool. Gave it away to a buddy of mine that appreciates Tarja and Nightwish as a Christmas present. I do enjoy to frame stuff, it really is good fun.

And so we have arrived at the final Audrey Hepburn magazine cover, the pocket sized Swedish publication Fick Journalen (46 1957), seen here on top of a big sized magazine that has been covered before. I like this small size, shame that it is long gone now.

My recent Audrey Hepburn magazine cover series is about to end (one more to go after this one). Here we have Swedish publication Svensk Damtidning, issue 4 1955. Two plus pages inside with some nice shots, interview made in Rome by journalist Bruno Rizzoli. Apparently, part one of two.

Swedish weekly publication Vecko-Tidningen Såningsmannen, issue 20 1954. One page inside dealing with her success in very positive terms. The movies were of great importance back then.

Swedish publication Hela Världen, issue 22 1956. This publication existed between 1928 and 1963, and in 1964 it went on as Min Värld. Audrey on the cover but nothing inside.

Swedish publication Nya Damernas Värld, issue 6 1961. One page interview inside. She mentioned books being a nice hobby and that being a wife and a mother was more important than anything that fame could give. Also, having grown up in poverty during the war she had a strong sense that a lot could be done to help out those in need.

Swedish publication Din Tidning, issue 1 1958. Nice Audrey Hepburn cover (nothing inside though). Din Tidning existed in 1955-1960 and catered mostly to young women. Mostly Hollywood star covers.

Swedish publication Vecko-Tidningen Såningsmannen, issue 40 1959. Amazingly, there is no content inside with Audrey, what we get is this cover with a short text that proclaims that she appeared in person at the premiere of “The Nun´s Story” in Stockholm. Incidentally, Swedish television aired a documentary about Cary Grant today and we did get to see Audrey in it (short clip from “Charade”). So, good day.

Swedish publication Bildjournalen, issue 7 1956. Nice four page article by Barbro Bolinder-Johansson and photographer Per-Olow inside (done in Paris). Some good shots.

Some nice Audrey Hepburn covers here, UK publications ABC Film Review (January 1967) and Photoplay (February 1965). “My fair Lady” shots. A couple of pages and a full page ad in ABC Film Review and a six page feature in Photoplay is what you get. Browsing in these magazines now it is just stunning what people could see at the movies back in the day.
