LOS ANGELES TIMES, Dec. 4, 1988 (an original vintage newspaper leaf from the Calendar section)  This offering consists of four complete pages (two double-sided sheets on one single leaf), serving as a rare piece of cinematic ephemera, highlighted by an original vintage print advertisement announcing the upcoming opening day premiere of  "MY STEPMOTHER IS AN ALIEN" starring Kim Basinger and Dan Aykroyd on one of the pages. (see images). 
In addition to the featured movie ad, which captures the era's distinct theatrical promotional graphics and classic key art, the surrounding pages provide a fascinating snapshot of late 20th-century entertainment and pop culture. Printed on authentic newsprint with genuine vintage toning, this original leaf is not a modern reprint, making it an ideal piece for custom framing, film history display, or inclusion in a dedicated cinema memorabilia collection.

Background: Directed by Richard Benjamin, the 1988 sci-fi comedy My Stepmother Is an Alien holds distinct pop-culture significance for its dramatic genre evolution, notable crew, and future star power. Originally conceived in 1981 as a dark sci-fi horror thriller before undergoing extensive rewrites into a lighthearted 1980s romantic comedy, the film features visual effects by Oscar-winner John Dykstra (Star Wars) and a praised physical comedy performance by Kim Basinger as an extraterrestrial adjusting to human customs alongside Dan Aykroyd. Most notably for modern TV legacy, the film marks the very first screen pairing of teenage actors Alyson Hannigan and Seth Green nearly a decade before they reunited as fan-favorite onscreen couple Willow and Oz on Buffy the Vampire Slayer, alongside early career turns by Juliette Lewis and Jon Lovitz. Though a box-office flop upon release, its eccentric blend of creature effects, quirky romantic tropes, and future stars ultimately solidified its enduring status as an 80s cult favorite.
