On The Newstand ..... March 1983


Today's magazine is an American one, called Daytimers and Real Life dated March 1983 (the year I started collecting Joan memorabilia). This is a great full cover shot of Joan and inside is a 6 page article "Joan Collins, The star of Dynasty speaks frankly about her show biz childhood, her daughter's illness and nasty Alexis Carrington!.

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.

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.
