I just saw a mention of Murgatroyd

of Movieline Magazine, in another thread. I always wondered, who wrote Hollywood Ink? Was Murgatroyd more then one person? Who was it?

• Heavens!

• LOVED Movieline magazine. One of the best magazines EVER. Very dishy and campy (and gay). I always thought Murgatroyd was a 'gaggle' of gossips kind of like 'The Hollywood Kids'.

• The original Murgatroyd was this guy. He's been kicking around Hollywood since the 1970s or 1980s, but couldn't have his name on the column. I don't know if "Murgatroyd" later became a composite or not. Movieline, in its early days, was like an Ed Wood production headed up by a rich Russian bitch. Later it became much more corporate and a kiss-up to the powers that be.

• The old publisher of Movieline, Anne Volokh -- sort of Arianna Huffington as played by Andrea Martin.
