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 - 18th February

Various countries featured Joan on their magazine covers on this day, so I am featuring four from my collection and they span a 50 Year period of Joan's career.

The first is from 1956, when Picture Show featured Joan on their cover with Farley Granger her co-star in the film "The Girl in The Red Velvet Swing"

The next magazine is from 1965, another English title, this time a TV magazine called "TV World", and Joan is featured on the cover with Herbert Lom star of "The Human Jungle" which she was guest starring in that weekend.

Now over to Austria, where in 1993 Joan was appearing at The Vienna Opera Ball which is an annual Austrian society event on the Thursday preceding Ash Wednesday.

This magazine Casino Express featured Joan on their cover in 1993.

Finally we move to 2006 and another English TV magazine called "TV Times" which followers of Joan will know have featured her on their cover numerous times.

Zoe Lucker shared the cover with Joan on this issue to launch the final series of Footballer's Wives, which Joan was to guest star in alongside her as magazine editor, Eva De Wolffe.

JConthecover: Coleccao Cinema (1956)

As Joan is currently in the UK, perhaps she would have seen that Land of The Pharoahs was shown on BBC2 today. Made in 1954, the film featured Jack Hawkins, and Sydney Chaplin.

Today's magazine is from Portugal and features Joan as Princess Nellifer and Jack Hawkins as the Pharoah on the cover and inside a 5 page adaptation of the film.
