On the Newstands ....

Today, I am featuring the magazine 'New Idea' from New Zealand, which was on sale on Saturday 2nd March 2002.

As you can see this was one of the many magazines that featured Joan's 5th marriage to Percy Gibson at London's Claridge's Hotel. Inside the article "Joan's purple passion" was an exclusive 6 page article with great photo's which originally featured in England's OK Magazine, and as fan's know, Joan recently celebrated her 9th anniversary.

On the Newstands ....

As readers of my blog know JContheCover, the name of my first website was created to feature magazines Joan has appeared on from the 1950's to the present day.

By way of a change, I thought it would be an idea to see if I could feature the magazines of Joan that would have been on sale on newstands on a particular date.

For the 1st March,I found 19 magazines, ranging from 1957 to 1994.

I have chosen this issue of ABC Film Review from 1st March 1960, with Joan on the cover from the film Seven Thieves. This magazine was first published in 1951 by Associated British Cinemas Ltd and sold at ABC cinemas only. It became a monthly magazine in 1951 and in 1972 changed it's name to Film Review.

51 years ago this magazine would have cost you 6D(pence). Check back tomorrow for more daily Newstand Magazines.

Dynasty - Mud

They threw items at each other in the studio catfight, fought in the lilypond, and as this photo shows, in Season 6 Alexis and Krystle fight over Blake this time in the mud.

JContheCover: VideoArab (1987)

Back to 1987 for today's magazine from the archives. A fantastic cover shot of fur clad Joan from Dynasty. Fans will remember the episode when Alexis attempts to move Jeff Colby to a private clinic to cover up for Adam who had poisoned him with the toxic fumes from his newly painted office.

The magazine is written completely in Arabic, the only English I can make out is the date, March 1987. Inside is a 4 page article with 8 colour pictures.

Shocking Reunion ....

They Swore They'd Never Work Together Again - was the headline on this advert from US People magazine, advertising the premiere of the film "These Old Broads", starring Joan, Elizabeth Taylor, Debbie Reynolds and Shirley MacLaine.

JContheCover - Cine Tele Revue (1987)

Today, I am featuring a copy of the Belgian magazine, Cine Tele Revue from December 1987.
The cover features Joan with Dynasty co-stars John James (Jeff Colby) and Linda Evans (Krystle). Inside is a 5 page article with another picture of Joan, plus other soap stars.

Between 1985 and 1987 Joan appeared on the cover of this magazine another 6 times, and I will feature these covers in future posts.
