DAILY PICTURE

This picture was used on the back cover of the American version of Joan's 2nd novel, Love & Desire & Hate, with a similar one on the UK hardback. Handbills and cardboard displays were found in all good booksellers promoting the publication.

I purchased my copy days before going to see Joan in Private Lives at the Aldwych Theatre in London, where backstage I met her for the first time, and she signed the book for me, asking me if I was enjoying it?

I will look out the photographs and publish them in a future post.

In 1985 Joan appeared at the Royal Variety Show. The opening was classic with the orchestra playing the theme to Coronation Street prompting Joan to leave the stage until they change to the Dynasty theme when she returns stating, "That's better, I didn't think I look like Hilda Ogden". Joan then went on to talk about Hollywood Musicals and introduced the next act. Later she returned to pay tribute to Fred Astaire".

The above picture shows the aftershow line up when Her Majesty The Queen meets the cast before leaving the theatre. Joan is standing next to Lauren Bacall. Also pictured are Jean Simmons, Patrick Duffy, Alice Faye and Celeste Holm.
