Today I am featuring some photos from Season 4 of Dynasty, episode 25 "The Engagement" which aired 18/04/1984.

On The Newstand - 24 February

I am featuring 3 magazines which you would have seen on the newstands today, 24th February, between 1983 & 1992

The first is a Dutch Magazine, called Hitkrant and Joan appears on the cover only, inside is a two page article about Dynasty with pictures of her co-stars, Geoffrey "Mark" Scott, Kathleen "Kirby" Beller & Gordon "Adam" Thomson.

The next magazine is also Dutch, a magazine called Story (there was a Belgian magazine with this title and Joan also featured on their covers - these will be featured at later dates in the blog or can be found on the website)

This 1984 issue features Joan on the cover with Dynasty co-star Michael "Dex" Nader and a 3 page article about Dynasty.

Moving on to 1992 and this American Magazine, Theater Week promoted Joan's tour of America in Noel Coward's famous play, Private Lives. Following a very successful run in London's West End, she is pictured on the cover of this magazine with co-star, Simon Jones (Keith Baxter was said not to be available for the US tour). Inside is a 2 1/2 page article, "Joan Collins's Private Lives - a backstage chat with America's favorite Wicked Woman"

Daily Picture - The Carousel Ball

Joan's escort for the Carousel Ball in Denver, Colorado was her Dynasty co-star Michael Nader (Dex) in this picture.

Having recently updated the layout of the Dynasty gallery on the website I received several e-mails asking if I had any new pictures of Joan from the show. The answer to this question is YES!!, I have several.

This lovely one was taken on set during filming of the last episode and shows Joan with Stephanie Beacham as Sable Colby and Michael Nader (Dex).

Judging by their smiles, not sure if they have already filmed the balcony plunge scene.

JContheCover(s) - News of the World Magazines 1985 - 1988

As mentioned in yesterday's post, in the 80's the News of the World newspaper regularly featured Joan on the cover of their magazine supplement, "Sunday". Yesterday, I featured the first in my collection, from 1984 - here are the other 5 as a tribute to the newspaper.

This first one from July 1985 was to promote the new mini series, Sins that Joan was producing and starring in. It featured an adaptation of the book by Judith Gould with pictures of Joan and the cast throughout.

The June 8, 1986 issue featured Joan as Madame Du Pompadour her choice of costume for the Masquerade party where Alexis brings Ben Carrington (Christopher Cazenove) back to Denver (Dynasty Season 6).

It was back to the mini series for the August 10, 1986 issue of the magazine, and the picture of Joan from Monte Carlo based on the novel by Stephen Sheppard. Inside was a 2 page article with pictures from the production.

The 1987 issue, dated February 8 featured an article about Joan's daughter Katy and her then divorce from husband number 4 - Peter Holm.

The last issue that I have in my collection was from November 1988 and featured Joan on the cover in Dynasty scenes with co-star Michael Nader (Dex Dexter). Inside a 1 1/2 page article, "I've Spent All My Life Trying to Please Men" about her marriages and then news and pictures from a forthcoming episode of Dynasty.

Thank you News of the World for some great covers of Joan over the years.
