Look (American magazine)
Encyclopedia : L : LO : LOO : Look (American magazine)
Look was a weekly, general-interest magazine published in the United States from 1937 to 1971, with more of an emphasis on photographs than articles. A large-size magazine of 11 by 14 inches, it was generally considered the also-ran to Life magazine.
The magazine's 25th anniversary cover in 1961 featured Marilyn Monroe, as photographed by Douglas Kirkland.
Fillpachi publications brought back Look, "The Picture Newsmagazine" in February 1979 as a bi-weekly in a slightly smaller size. It only lasted a year.
It is probably best known to recent generations from its appearance in the perennial holiday movie A Christmas Story.
