On the Newstand .... March 17th

Today's magazine is a first from this country to feature on my blog. As you know the idea is to highlight magazines that Joan has featured on worldwide, so far we've had American, French, Canadian, Dutch and of course mine and Joan's home country, England.


So today its back 24 years to 1987 and this magazine from Chile called TV-Grama. The 2 page article inside is written in Spanish (and although my Spanish is not brilliant) seems to be a comparison on what actresses like Joan in primetime series were paid at that time.

From the list of 20 actors and actresses, Joan comes in 6th place (5th was Patrick Duffy from Dallas and joint 7th place went to Linda Evans and Lee Majors). For those interested top of the list was Larry Hagman in Dallas.

Daily Picture - Dynasty Season 6

Season 6 introduced Ben Carrington, Blake's brother, played by the late Christopher Cazenove. He appears in the episode 'Masquerade' having been brought to Denver from Australia by Alexis (who else did you expect?)dressed as Madame Du Pompadour seen here in this picture with designer Nolan Miller.

On the Newstand .... 13 March 1989

22 Years ago this magazine would have been on sale in New Zealand. Joan appeared on the cover of the publication a number of times, this one was to promote her mini series, Sins which she co-produced and starred in.

Inside the magazine is a 2 page article, "Joan busts her mould!".

Daily Picture: Alexis in Fur

This picture of Joan from Dynasty Season 3 episode "The Wedding" is just one of my favourites in my collection. It is from the scene where Alexis, looking for Joseph to lock up her studio tells Krystle that she is off to her wedding.

The scene is actually comedy which Joan plays brilliantly, and some of the dialogue is classic.
Alexis tells Krystle her plans for the future, when the Colby's entertain.

Alexis: "And who knows ... I may even invite you and Blake if the whim strikes me!"
Krystle: "Save your whims Alexis... we won't be coming"
Alexis: "Well it's getting late, my new limousine and chauffeur are waiting for me, its off to my wedding (turns to walk out).
Alexis:(turns back to Krystle) "And I just know Krystle, that despite our more than occasional differences - you wish me all the best ...... don't you dear?" (Exit)
