After a "Blog" Break, its back into the archives with today's post which goes back to March 1958, and this magazine featuring Joan on the cover from the 1956 film "Island In The Sun" which co-starred Joan Fontaine, Dorothy Dandridge, James Mason, Michael Rennie, Harry Belafonte & Stephen Boyd.

Another magazine from 1984, this time from America, and a great cover too. This magazine had a 4 1/2 page feature, "Joan Collins Fabulous At 50 And Better Than Ever"
Also, readers got the chance to knit the sweater that Joan wore on the cover as the pattern was also included.

Joan lead an all-star cast, in the six hour mini-series SINS about one woman's struggle to the top of a fashion publishing empire and her ongoing battle to stay there. Filmed in Paris, the Riviera and Venice, SINS was broadcast during the 1985-86 season on the CBS Television Network.
