VIDEO FLASHBACK.. THE JOAN COLLINS VIDEO SPECIAL ... 1980

This sleeve is for the 1980 video release on the Video At Home label of Joan's first health and exercise video "The Joan Collins Video Special". This feature has been re-released many times over the years. It was issued again in 1983 on the Astra label due to Joan's Dynasty success. It reappeared again as "Dynastic Joan Reveals All" on the Video Gems label, and in the 90's as "Everything You Ever Wanted To Know About Joan Collins, But Were Afraid To Ask!" from V.R.L Video. In America is was released by Prism video as "The Making Of Joan Collins". This special was filmed to tie in with "The Joan Collins Beauty Book" and featured Michael Parkinson interviewing Joan on her health and beauty tips, she goes though her make up routine from scratch! She does a series of exercises and we see her film the popular Cinzano commercials with Leonard Rossiter, have lunch with friends Bruce Oldfield and Vivienne Ventura and dinner with husband Ron Kass and Michael and Mary Parkinson. This packed one hour special is a must see and hopefully it might turn up on DVD eventually!
