This is the May 1962 issue of Confidential, featuring Elizabeth Taylor, Eddie Fisher and Jackie Gleason on the cover (and the inside!). Some of the other articles in the magazine are listed on the cover; there are others, along with numerous black & white photos and vintage black & white advertisements.

The issue contains 76 pages and measures approximately 8.25 x 11 inches. 

Confidential magazine was published quarterly from December 1952 to August 1953 and then bi-monthly until it ceased publication in 1978. It was founded by Robert Harrison and is considered a pioneer in scandal, gossip and exposé journalism.

By 1955, Confidential had larger sales than Reader's Digest, Ladies' Home Journal, Look, The Saturday Evening Post or Collier's. Due to the success of Confidential, competing magazines soon were created.
