On The Newstand - 11 September 1954

Today's entry takes us back 54 years.

This edition of Picture Post, an English magazine would have cost 4D(pence) and features this lovely picture of Joan on the cover taken at the time of filming Land of The Pharoahs.

Inside is a 2 page article,"Here's A Girl With A Mind Of Her Own".

Star Trek - New Photos

This is one of 8 new photographs that I have just added to the site.

WEBSITE NEWS!!

I was very excited to find earlier today that the website had received it's 1000th visitor.
The site records and gives me statistics which show that 50.9% of vistors are from the UK, and 23.1% are from the United States.

In total 45 different countries have visited the site since it stared as shown on the flag map on the home page. I am thrilled that so many countries have an interest in Joan .... and my collection.

With a regular job to hold onto, it can sometimes be difficult to update the blog on a daily basis - but I will try and keep it as up to date as possible and also continue working on the website.

Finally, a big thank you to all those who have taken the time to e-mail me.

Best Wishes

On The Newstand - September 1985

Of all the magazines in the archives, I don't have one for today, 10th September, so I am featuring one from September 1985 which being a monthly publication would have been on sale 26 years ago today

Following the overwhelming worldwide success of Joan's appearance in the December 1983 (January 1984 in some countries)issue of Playboy, Joan was featured on the cover of the September 1985 issue of American Playgirl magazine, alongside her then new Dynasty co-star, Michael Nader.

Inside was a 6 page article, simply called 'Joan Collins', and for fans of Michael Nader, a 1 page article, "Dynasty's Delectable Dex".

On The Newstand - 9th September

Today's magazine from the archives is an American title, US from 1985 and features a lovely picture of Joan on it's cover.
Inside a 7 page article, 'Joan Collins Satin and Steel' plus colour pictures throughout.

As with other magazines featured in this week's posts, Joan was a regular on the cover of US magazine, and these can be found on the website.

I have received e-mails from fans asking for more details on magazine articles and I am currently looking at the best way to do this - so watch this space.

On The Newstand - 8th September

The magazine for today is a Canadian title called "The Newfoundland Herald" from 1984 and features a lovely picture of Joan from a Dynasty photo shoot.

Inside is a 4 page article about Dynasty Merchandise plus for fans of Michael Nader a one page article about his role as Dex Dexter.

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.
