 All the best people showed up. 
The West German pop culture and celeb magazine Party, which was produced in Hannover by Lehning Press, is an obscure publication. It's very vivid, with bright color, many full page photos, and many film celebrities represented. Equal time is given to unknowns too, for example, the cover features Annelies Niessner, who was... we have no idea, and inside a color page is given to Cornelie, identified only as a “millionärstochter geht eigene wege,” a millionaire's daughter who goes her own way.
In terms of celebs you get Carol Lynley, Jane Russell, Sandra Dee, Stella Stevens, Laya Raki, a beautiful portrait of Jane Fonda, numerous shots of Ursula Andress, and many others. This publication didn't waste words, even on the copyright date. The cover tells us this is issue eight, so we're going to say it came in August, and we're thinking it's from 1967. Though it may be short on info, Party is an appropriate name, because it's a very fun magazine. We have several more issues, so look for those later.                                      
 Rumors spread, gossip revealed, scandals shared. 
We're back to The National Police Gazette with an issue published this month in 1963. The cover is given to Jolanda Addolori and Anthony Quinn, who were unmarried but had a child together, a real no-no for the time period, particularly when you already have a wife and four children, as Quinn did. His wife was actress Katherine DeMille, who was most active during the 1930s, before devoting time to motherhood. Quinn eventually divorced her and married Addolori in 1966. Elsewhere in the issue you see Bobby Darin and Sandra Dee, get nice photos of Grazia Buccella and Veronique Vendell, and learn about the ring prowess of Sonny Liston and Max Schmeling. You can see many more Gazettes at our tabloid index located here.                  
 Okay, just look natural. Perfect! 
Above, American actress Sandra Dee, née Alexandria Zuck, who during the late 1950s and through the 1960s carved out a career playing the all-American girl in films like Gidget and I’d Rather Be Rich, seen here circa 1960 striking a pose we suspect only she could make look good.
 The education of little Dee. 
National Star Chronicle, published yesterday in 1964, with a story about American sweetheart Sandra Dee. Dee is another celebrity who benefited greatly from a name change, when at the age of twelve her agent suggested that perhaps she’d get more work if she weren’t named Alexandra Zuck.
