Daily Picture - 1950's Publicity

This lovely picture of Joan arrived in a box of memorabilia from my friends in America last December.

It is poster size, measuring 16" x 12", and taken in the 1950's around the time of "Island In The Sun" or "Stopover Tokyo"

On The Newstand - 24 February

I am featuring 3 magazines which you would have seen on the newstands today, 24th February, between 1983 & 1992

The first is a Dutch Magazine, called Hitkrant and Joan appears on the cover only, inside is a two page article about Dynasty with pictures of her co-stars, Geoffrey "Mark" Scott, Kathleen "Kirby" Beller & Gordon "Adam" Thomson.

The next magazine is also Dutch, a magazine called Story (there was a Belgian magazine with this title and Joan also featured on their covers - these will be featured at later dates in the blog or can be found on the website)

This 1984 issue features Joan on the cover with Dynasty co-star Michael "Dex" Nader and a 3 page article about Dynasty.

Moving on to 1992 and this American Magazine, Theater Week promoted Joan's tour of America in Noel Coward's famous play, Private Lives. Following a very successful run in London's West End, she is pictured on the cover of this magazine with co-star, Simon Jones (Keith Baxter was said not to be available for the US tour). Inside is a 2 1/2 page article, "Joan Collins's Private Lives - a backstage chat with America's favorite Wicked Woman"

Daily Picture - A Midwinter's Tale

This still of Joan seated next to Jennifer Saunders is from Kenneth Branagh's romantic comedy "A Midwinter's Tale", which was released in the UK under the title, "In The Bleak Midwinter"

On The Newstand - 23 February

Although there are over 700 magazines in the archives, I do not have one with Joan on the cover for today's date, so I am featuring a copy of Cosmopolitan, an English magazine that would have been on sale for the month of February 1986.

Inside is a 3 page article, "Joan Collins - What The Team Thinks"

On The Newstand - 22 February

Today's featured magazine takes us back 56 years. A French magazine called Mon Film, I have three issues of this in the archives featuring Joan on the cover, there may have been others, I'm not sure.

On the Newstand - 21 February

Although there are over 700 magazines in the archives, I do not have one with Joan on the cover for today's date, so I am featuring one from America that would have been on sale for the month of February 1986.
