JConthecover: NZ Woman's Weekly (1984)

As fans will know, Joan has appeared on hundreds of magazines worldwide. On the subject of Dynasty today's magazine is a 1984 copy of New Zealand Woman's Weekly.
Joan appeared on the cover of this magazine several times over the years.

Featured below is an extract from the magazines 2 page article, "Dynasty - and the claws are out"

Ladies and gentlemen, soap fans everywhere. Take your seats for what promises to be a really absorbing contest. At stake - the title of queen of the soaps and with it the coveted superbitch belt.
In the red corner, the holder, red-hot Alexis, one time wife of Blake Carrington, super-suave millionaire. She wants him back but seems doomed to fail.

In the blue corner - that's blue as in icy-cold - the challenger Krystle, also a one-time wife of the busy Mr Carrington and soon to be again.
A word of warning - don't sit too near. This scrap might boil over out of the television arena and into real life.
New Zealand fans are now happily reconciled with the doings of the Dynasty set - having been left last year firmly glued to the edge of their seats as Krystle and Alexis faced death together ... trapped in a burning building.

Just as much heat is being generated by some of the twists the script takes in the new series as the rescued rivals continue their contest.
Well ahead on points at this stage is Krystle, but Alexis is not beaten yet.

And that is just another way of saying Linda Evans looks destined to become the leading light of the show, unless Joan Collins can come from behind. Now read on:

Over the years, as well as memorabilia, I have also collected press cuttings on Joan. I particularly liked the TV ads which used to appear in the US TV Guide magazine. Here is one from October 10, 1984 issue. Watch out for more of these and other cuttings in future posts.

Film: Island In The Sun (1956)

The Campaign Book issued for the film's release, and a US press still featuring Joan in a scene with Stephen Boyd. There will be more from this film in future posts.

JConthecover: Amor Film (1958)

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.
This magazine featured the story of the film in pictures over 18 pages. Fragile as the magazine is now 52 years old, it is great to remind ourselves of the film with this article.

JConthecover: Family Circle (1984)

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.

Film: Alfie Darling (1974)

A FOH still showing Joan in bed with Alan Price in a scene from the film made in 1974.
Also in the cast, Jill Townsend, Annie Ross, Sheila White and Hannah Gordon.
