This B&W picture of Joan is taken from The Bravados, which Joan starred in alongside Gregory Peck.

On The Newstand ....


Featuring 2 magazines as I did not get chance to post yesterday.

The first is a German magazine, Bild Woche, dated 8th March 1984, with the classic Alexis photo of Joan on the cover. Inside is a 1 1/2 page article about Dynasty.








The second magazine is Amor Film from France and was available 26 years before the one above, March 1958.
The cover features Joan from the film 'Island In The Sun' and a pictorial adaptation of the film across 18 pages.

Miss Marple

This photo of Joan is from Marple, which premiered on UK Television on 1st January 2010.

The episode was called "They Do It With Mirrors", and the role of Miss Marple was played by Julia Mckenzie.

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.
