CLIPPINGS COLLECTION: THE STUD

Starting today, I will be looking back on some of the many cuttings of Joan I have collected over the years. This one dates back to 1976/1977.


The Collins Girls Have Got Their Man
Jackie and Joan have found their man! Back on November in these gossipy pages, Globe told the tale of the sisters Joan and Jackie Collins' search for a devilishly handsome fellow to star in "The Stud" written by Jackie (right) and starring Joannie (left).
Well, 29-year-old British Actor Oliver Tobias fills the bill.

JContheCover: Chigago Tribune (1984)

Our first magazine for 2011 is this TV guide published by Chigaco Tribune in December 1984, featuring Joan with Michael Nader who had just joined the cast of Dynasty as Farnsworth "Dex" Dexter, and inside an article, 'Michael Nader: Don't call him Mr. Alexis'

ON THE STAGE: PRIVATE LIVES

Joan as Amanda in Noel Coward's famous play Private Lives. This photograph is from the US tour which followed her successful run in London's West End.

Pictured are her co-stars, Edward Duke and Simon Jones who replaced Keith Baxter as Elyot.



Below is a handbill from the US tour.



Other photos and items from both the UK and US tours can be found on my website.

JContheCover: Palm Springs Lite (1982)

Continuing the Christmas theme, Joan appeared on this American Magazine for the December 1982 issue.

Inside was an 8 page article entitled "A Chic And Shimmering Christmas" with some fantastic photographs of Joan (2 shown below).

Dynasty Adverts

Previously I have featured adverts for Dynasty that appeared in the weekly US TV Guide magazines. This one is from November 23, 1983 and introduced Michael Nader to the cast as Farnsworth "Dex" Dexter.

Christmas all wrapped up ?

With Christmas only days away, here we see Joan pictured amongst gifts for the festive season. This photograph appeared on the December 1999 newsletter sent out to fan club members.
