On The Newstand - 7 September 1990

The magazine for today's date is a French magazine from 1990.
It is called Le Lundi and like yesterday's magazine, Joan has been the cover star on numerous occasions, and I will be featuring other issues in future posts.

This issue focused on Joan's 4 marriages and her then new relationship with a younger man.

Bookstands Vs Newstands

Earlier this year I ran a daily feature called 'On The Newstands' which proved quite popular with many fans. With Joan's new book, 'The World According to Joan' now on sale, and with quite a few new titles added to my collection this year - I thought now is an ideal time to pick up this feature again.
Today's magazine goes back 24 years to September 6th 1987 and was a one day issue called You Magazine. This was published weekly with the English Sunday newspaper, The Mail on Sunday, and Joan featured on the cover a number of times and I have all the covers in my collection.

Clad in black leather inside was a 3 page article, "I'm Just An Old-Fashioned Girl" and as the year was 1987, her new mini-series, Sins was about to start on UK TV, so the article carried pictures from that too.

Check back tomorrow for another magazine from the archives.....

New Book - The Wait is Over!!

Here it is "The World According to Joan". I got my copy this week at local Sainsbury's store (promotion price £5.00) where it appears to have entered the book charts at no 3.
Naturally, I started to read it straight away hot from the shelves.

Fans who have long awaited its publication will know that Joan covers a range of different subjects in the book, from Fame,Children,Glamour,Travel,Men, Manners,Aging,Food and Values. 214 pages in total.

Dynasty Photos

Having recently updated the layout of the Dynasty gallery on the website I received several e-mails asking if I had any new pictures of Joan from the show. The answer to this question is YES!!, I have several.

This lovely one was taken on set during filming of the last episode and shows Joan with Stephanie Beacham as Sable Colby and Michael Nader (Dex).

Judging by their smiles, not sure if they have already filmed the balcony plunge scene.

Daily Picture - Joan with George

This photo of Joan with George Hamilton was taken at the 46th Annual Golden Globe Awards on 28 January 1989

Daily Picture - Mama's Back

Today's picture is from the 1993 pilot "Mama's Back", a 30 minute comedy pilot episode written by Ruby Wax. Joan is pictured with co-star Michael Gambon. Unfortunately, the series was never picked up as a full series.

The cast also included Samantha Womack (credited as Samantha Janus) from Eastenders, and also Rupert Everett.

Daily Picture - Breakfast in Bed!!

Its "All New Pictures Time!!" I have a file of around 150 new photographs of Joan that do not appear on the website. These have been purchased over the last 2-3 years and kept on file ready for publishing.

Today is a lovely colour portrait of Joan in a scene from the 1984 comedy "The Cartier Affair", which Joan made with David Hasselhoff. The movie went straight to a video release, I remember paying £19.99 for my first VHS copy. The movie has since been re-released on DVD both here and in the US.

Another photo tomorrow.
