JContheCover: Man About Town (1979)

I have chosen this English magazine from March 1979 for today's post.

As Joan has appeared on so many magazines over the years, as illustrated in the magazine section of my website, it can be difficult knowing which one to feature next.

This issue came out as Joan was completing filming of "The Bitch", and inside is a 2 page article "Age Has Not Wearied Her".

The Wayward Bus - MLC

This is another Mexican Lobby Card which I recently added to my collection. It is for the Wayward Bus in which Joan starred alongside Jayne Mansfield and Dan Dailey.

The colour and artwork on the Mexican Lobby Cards is so much more vibrant than the UK and US ones, and I will feature more of them in future posts.

JContheCover: Evening Soaps Magazine

Thought I would stay with the Dynasty theme today and feature the US magazine Evening Soaps with the Moldavian Royal Wedding scene on the cover.

Dynasty Advert

With the release of Dynasty Season 6 in the UK, I thought it would be good to dust off some more of the adverts fpr the series that I have in my collection. Previously I have featured those from the US TV Guide Magazine, this one today is a colour version, although I'm not sure which publication it originally appeared in?

1983 Television Advert

This is an advert which featured in the July 31, 1983 issue of US TV Guide, for a programme showing that week called Personal & Confidential. As you can see this episode of Best Kept Secrets Exposed featured both Joan and Linda Evans.

JContheCover: Home & Life (1999)

Today's magazine is a recent addition to my collection, dated July 1999 and only available from The Milkman. Yes you read it right this publication was published by Dairy Crest the UK milk people.
Inside is a great interview by Richard Barber who has interviewed Joan before in print and also on television. 4 pages entitled, "The Unstoppable Joan Collins".

DYNASTY - SEASON 6

I was thrilled to receive news from Amazon.co.uk that Season 6 would be released on 24 January 2011. Just over 6 months since the release of Season 5 (21/6/2010) we can only hope that the last 3 seasons will follow within the next 18 months.

This season picks up on the Royal Wedding Cliffhanger from the last series, where we learn which members of the cast did not get their contracts renewed.

It also introduces new characters in the English form of Christopher Cazenove as Blake's brother, Ben and Kate O'Mara as Caress, Alexis' sister, and features the great storyline of Rita & Krystle, and guest stars George Hamilton, Charlton Heston and Barbara Stanwyck

30 episodes in total, Dynasty fans are treated to another scrap between Alexis and Krystle, this time involving mud, a swimming pool brawl between Amanda and Sammy Jo and a cliff hanger - Blake attempting to kill Alexis.

Incidentally, the first episode of Season 6 was the only one which Joan did not appear in since she joined the cast. Apparently stories in the press at the time said that Aaron Spelling had suspended her for demanding a pay rise in line with Colby's star Charlton Heston.

I understand that Season 5 is still not released in the US, and that volume 2 of Season 4 only came out February 2010.
