Deanna Durbin on the front covers of Look magazines:





Look was a bi-weekly, general-interest magazine published in Des Moines, Iowa from 1937 to 1971, with more of an emphasis on photographs than articles. A large-size magazine of 11 inches by 14 inches, it was generally considered the also-ran to Life magazine.

Deanna Durbin on the front cover of The Family Circle magazine in 1942 which was it's 10th Anniversary edition:



The Family Circle is an American women's magazine published 15 times a year by Meredith Corporation. It is, by many accounts, the best-selling women's magazine in America, with more than 4,000,000 subscribers and an advertising "reach" of roughly 20,000,000. It began publication in 1932 by The New York Times.

A shrewd salesman named Mitchell Hamilburg got interested in Deanna Durbin when he saw a preview of her 1936 debut movie called THREE SMART GIRLS. He was the Los Angeles representative of the Touraine Company, a New York sportswear house, and he figured Deanna would be good for a line of trademarked children’s dresses. When Touraine rejected the idea, he signed a personal agreement with Deanna's father James Durbin and threw away his job. For a variable down payment and 5 percent of the wholesale gross, he licensed the Deanna Durbin trademark to eleven different manufacturers. Cotton dresses made by Roseneau of Philadelphia and silk dresses made by Teen Frocks of New York had a retail sale of about a million dollars. Sportswear (made by Touraine), pajamas, robes, hats, bags, dolls, records, songbooks, and music retailed for another million.
