On the Newstand ... 6th March 1978

Continental Film Review is the magazine I am featuring today. This copy is #305 from March 1978, and features a 4 page article about the film 'The Stud'.

On The Newstand .... 5th March 1994

The magazine featured today is an English one called Chic, from March/April 1994, as I cannot locate the magazine from 5th March listed in my collection (I'm sure it will turn up!!)

This is the second issue of the magazine and inside is a 6 page profile of Joan, "La Collins: Still Sexy at 60", with colour pictures throughout.

Three years later, Joan would grace the cover of the magazine again for their June 1997 issue, which I will hopefully feature.

The Cartier Affair (1984)

This rare photo of Joan jogging with David Hasselhoff is a scene from the 1984 movie, The Cartier Affair.

On the Newstands ....

Today's magazine is the March 1988 fifth anniversary issue of Vanity Fair, with Joan sharing the cover with sister Jackie.

The 6 page article,"Queens of the Road" includes the fabulous Annie Leibovitz photo 'Limo Scene'.

Cartoons.

Like most countries, the majority of English newspapers feature daily cartoons, usually based on the previous days news or celebrity, and over the years whenever Joan had been in the press, it was guaranteed that she would not escape the cartoonist.


The one above, penned by Franklyn appeared in 'The Sun' newspaper, and ties in with today's magazine and her divorce from Peter Holm.

I hope to feature more of these very soon under the newspaper section of my website.

On the Newstands ....

The majority of the magazines featured on my website are Joan as the main celebrity, however there are some where she shares the cover, like today's magazine National Enquirer from 3rd March 1987.

Joan has appeared on the cover of this tabloid loads of times, and I will be featuring more in future posts. According to the one page article inside, this cover shows her entering the Los Angeles courtroom at the time of her divorce from husband #4, Peter Holm.

The article was entitled, "Peter Holm: I Love Joan Collins & Want Her Back!".

Fans of Bruce Willis will probably have this cover in their collection as he features top right.

EXTRA!! EXTRA!! ... On the Newstands

As an extra, I am featuring the front page of today's UK Daily Express. The idea of these posts is to exhibit publications from the 1950's to the present day featuring Joan on the cover. I had already gone back in my archives for today's magazine, and was really surprised to find Joan's picture staring at me from the newstands today.

From the pictures I'd seen on the Internet it looked a great dress, a colour which suits Joan, but by her own admission so tight that it caused her to suffer a "Victorian Swoon" and ended up her being rushed to hospital.

You can read this article on my website, by going to the Newspapers section from the main menu.

Don't forget to visit the blog tomorrow to see which magazine is featured from the archives.
