Program signed: "J Collins" on front cover, 32p, 5½x8½. Tempe, Arizona, November 1991. "Encore! Magazine" promoting a production of Noel Coward's Private Lives at the Gammage Auditorium. Inside pages include biographies of Collins and co-stars Simon Jones, Edward Duke, Jill Tasker and Margie Rynn as well Simon and the play's director, costume designer, lighting designer, sound designer, casting director, producer and associate producer. Collins realized one of her dreams when she debuted on Broadway in Private Lives. Collins starred as Amanda Prynne in the play, which ran from February 20, 1992-March 22, 1992 at the Broadhurst Theatre. Best known for her role as Alexis Morell Carrington Colby Dexter Rowan (1981-1989) on the TV series, Dynasty, British actress Joan Collins, daughter of a London theatrical booking agent, made her show business debut in a production of The Doll's House at age nine. After debuting in British films in 1951 (in an un-credited role in Lady Godiva Rides Again), she made an auspicious American debut as an Egyptian temptress in Land of the Pharoahs (1955). This assignment led to a contract with 20th Century-Fox, where, despite a few good dramatic parts (Girl on the Red Velvet Swing, 1955) and an adroit comic characterization in Rally Round the Flag, Boys (1958), she was written off by critics as decorative but nothing more. Collins' role on Dynasty changed all that. At the beginning of the 1985-1986 season, she had the star power to demand a raise before returning to work, but she later only appear in 13 of the final season's 22 episodes as producers could not afford to pay her every week. Collins, who has also appeared in made-for-TV movies and miniseries and in guest appearances from 1957-2005, also had recurring roles on the TV "soaps" Pacific Palisades (1997) and The Guiding Light (2002). Collins is the sister of author Jackie Collins and the mother of British news anchor Tara Newley and artist Alexander Newley (by second husband, Anthony Newley) and actress Katyana Kass (by third husband, Ronald S. Kass). Lightly creased. Fine condition.
