Seawife - Mexican Lobby Card

As a fan of Joan for over 25 years, I have collected a wide range of items from her amazing career including posters, photographs, films, books and magazines, pressbooks, press cuttings, and lobby cards and stills.
I have recently acquired some Mexican lobby cards and these are very different from English and US ones, especially because of their amazing artwork.
Today I am featuring one from the 1956 film Seawife which Joan starred in alongside Richard Burton, Cy Grant and Basil Sidney. I will feature others in future posts as I add more to my collection.

CELEBRITY PHOTOS

This rare photo from March 1985 was when Joan met Princess Diana at a charity evening in London hosted by designer, Bruce Oldfield (also pictured).
Both ladies wore gowns specially designed by him, Diana's was a silver-grey dress cut away with a large triangle at the back, while Joan wore a white satin beaded sequin dress with a split tulip hem.

1001 Arabian Nights

In 1995 Joan recorded this audio book of 1001 Arabian Nights with William Vanderpuye.

1001 Arabian Nights are exotic tales of romance and adventure in ancient Araby, told by the lovely Queen Shahrazad, one tale a night, to delay her execution at the hands of the king, her husband.
In her stories - of gigantic birds and sea monsters, of maidens guarded by evil djinns and Caliphs disguised as fisherman, Shahrazad suffers no maidenly modesty in describing with the indulgent eye of the East the acts of love in all their splendour and degradation.

Released by Spartan Audiobooks, this is a double cassette running time approximately 2 hrs 30 mins.

Tonight At 8:30 - The Astonished Heart
