JConthecover: Zycie (1997)


Poland is the magazine country I am featuring today. This weekly magazine dated 25 September 1997 has Joan on the cover and inside almost a full page article. As I do not read or speak Polish, I cannot provide any more details, however if there are any Polish followers of my blog out there, please get in touch, I'd appreciate your help with this.

JConthecover: Cosmopolitan (1984)


It's back to 1984 for today's magazine post, and the UK version of Cosmopolitan with Joan on the cover. Inside there is a 3 1/2 page article, "The Bitch And The Rich".

Two years later, Joan would grace the cover of the magazine again, and I have a copy of this and will feature it in the near future.

Awards: 1983 Emmys



This photograph of the late John Forsythe with Joan and Linda Evans was taken at the 1983 Emmy Awards at the Pasadena Civic Auditorium, Pasadena in California on 25th September 1983.
The ceremony hosted by Eddie Murphy & Joan Rivers saw both John and Linda nominated for awards, John for Outstanding Lead Actor and Linda for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Drama series (Dynasty),unfortunately neither of them won.

As for Joan, well it wasn't until 1984 that she was nominated for the award, in the same category as Linda, and I will feature pictures of that in a future post.

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.
