McCall's

McCall's was a monthly American women's magazine that was published by the McCall Corporation from 1913 until it became a division of Norton Simon in 1968. It was established as a small-format magazine called The Queen in 1873. In 1897, it was renamed McCall's Magazine—The Queen of Fashion (later shortened to McCall's) and subsequently grew in size to become a large-format glossy. In 2000, entertainer Rosie O'Donnell became editorial director of McCall's. In 2001 McCall's was renamed Rosie. Rosie ceased publication at the end of 2002. McCall's had a number of owners, including: Norton Simon who sold McCall's to private owners in 1973. In 1986, McCall's Publishing Company was bought by Time Inc. and Lang Communications. In 1989, McCall's was sold to The New York Times Company, and finally in 1994, German-based Gruner + Jahr purchased the magazine business.
