Past In Photos: Joan with Celebrities

This picture of Joan and Percy with David & Victoria Beckham is from 2002

Daily Picture: Seawife

This picture of Joan as a nun is from the 1956 film 'Sea Wife', in which she co-starred alongside Richard Burton, Basil Sydney and Cy Grant.

Joan's last line in the film was "No one ever looks at the face of a nun".

29 Years later (1985) in Dynasty, episodes 6.6 "The Titans" and 6.7 "The Decision" the Moldavian Massacre storyline continues with Dex disguised as a priest and Alexis as a nun trying to transport the injured King Galen out of Moldavia

Memorabilia Corner - Lobby Title Cards

Due to PC problems towards the latter end of last month and a busy work schedule, posts were a little scarce. Hopefully as we settle into May and my schedules start to calm down a little, I can devote more time to the blog.

Today I am featuring this title card for "The Girl In The Red Velvet Swing" from the collection

Title cards as they are known or #1 lobby card often have different artwork to the rest of the set, and often closely resemble the poster for the film

Check out other lobby cards on the website in the galleries section

Memorabilia Corner - The Slasher

Another "hot off the press" addition to my collection - this American lobby card is one of six I have acquired for the film "The Slasher" (Cosh Boy being its UK title).

Featured on this one is Joan with her young co-star James Kenney. The film also starred Hermione Baddeley and Hermione Gingold.

I have also acquired a US poster of the film for the collection and I will add this directly to the website, plus other memorabilia as well

Memorabilia Corner: A Night With Joan

This arrived in the mail 3 hours ago; so thought I would feature it as today's memorabilia corner post.

A flyer/handbill from the Australian tour of Joan's one woman show, under the title 'A Night With Joan'.
The great thing about adding this to the collection is that it has a different design to the UK, London version.

The reverse has the show's synopsis - "Golden Globe winner and Emmy-nominee Joan Collins returns to Australia, in a tour that promises to be simply fabulous!

With a career spanning more than 50 years as an actress, producer, author, humanitarian and entrepreneur, multi-award winning Joan Collins has cemented herself as an icon of stage and screen.

Her role in the television series Dynasty made her (and Alexis Carrington-Colby) a household name and her theatrical presence on Broadway and London's West End has only further enshrined her as one of showbiz's brightest stars. Joan Collins' novels and memoirs have sold more than 50 million copies worldwide.

Sharing the wit and anecdotes of a life spent in the spotlight A Night with Joan is set to be an unforgettable night. The show has been a sell-out in London and New York and promises to be a show-stopping event that her legions of Australian fans will not want to miss.

Memorabilia Corner: Star Trek

According to statistics, Star Trek episode 28 "City on the Edge of Forever" which Joan guest-starred in was the most popular episode of the entire series.

It was first screened on 6th April 1967 and has been shown worldwide and in 1968 won the Hugo Award for Best Dramatic Presentation

Featured today are two collectors cards from the episode, which I purchased from different sources and know very little about. Presumably they belong to sets of collectable cards based on the series.

Memorabilia Corner: Rally Round The Flag Boys

Featured today is a Window card from the comedy Rally Round The Flag Boys.

This one was purchased in unused condition as the blank space at the top was where the theatre put screening times and any other details.

Window cards will be displayed in the posters gallery on the website.
