Happy Birthday Joan

Happy Birthday Joan - have a great day.

On The Newstands - 13 April

Today's post takes us back to 1991, and 2 magazines, both English as that was the weekend that saw the start of Joan's new series, "Tonight at 8:30", 8 mini plays by Noel Coward for the BBC.

 

Radio Times, featured Joan on the cover as Lady Maureen 'Piggy' Gilpin the character Joan played in the first episode of the series, "Hands Across the Sea", with John Nettles, Miriam Margoyles and Edward Duke. 

TV Quick was another UK TV Guide magazine which featured Joan on their cover that week.

 

On The Newstands - 11 / 12 April

Apologies about the absence of yesterday's post  - I was going to feature a Turkish magazine cover of Joan called Hayat from 1959, but having spent all morning going through storage crates, I couldn't locate it and believe it is still in a large crate of magazines I have at my parents home.  Will check and hopefully feature it as a post very soon.


As I do not have a magazine for today in the archives, I am featuring one that would have been on sale for the month of April.

  Eros, an American men's magazine featured this lovely shot of Joan on their cover of the April 1983 issue.  Not surprising it sold like hotcakes.

On The Newstand - 9th April

Today's magazine takes us back 30 years .... the same year that I started my Joan Collins collection, and is a German title, called Neue Revue.
