PROMO UPDATE : SHARON TATE : RECOLLECTIONS .. APRIL 2014 ..

Joan has contributed to an new book devoted to Sharon Tate, by her sister Debra.. The book to be published by Running Press on April 29th 2014 also features recollection's from many other stars.. Below is an extract from the book featuring photo's from Sharon's 1968 wedding to director Roman Polanski..
The star of cult films like Valley of the Dolls and The 
Fearless Vampire Killers, renowned for her startling beauty and as a poster child of the 1960s, Sharon Tate remains a fascinating pop icon to this day. Sharon Tate: Recollection is a celebration of her life and career, her influence as a fashion icon throughout the world, and presents a sociological portrait of 1960s Hollywood. All of this comes from the one-of-a-kind perspective of her sister, Debra Tate, and through stunning images and stories from those who knew her best.

In this impressive photo book, Sharon Tate’s story emerges through quotes and short essays—“Recollections”—by Debra Tate, as well as by those who knew her personally and who have been influenced by her. An all-star cast contributing memories and thoughts on Sharon includes Jack Nicholson, Warren Beatty, Robert Evans, Mia Farrow, Raquel Welch, Hugh Hefner, Michelle Phillips, Patty Duke, Barbara Parkins and Joan Collins. And the book is filled with hundreds of rare and unpublished photos of Sharon Tate taken by the likes of Milton Greene, Richard Avedon, Bert Stern, Norman Parkinson, Philippe Halsman, John Engstead, and more.
Unlike all other books on Sharon Tate that focus on her tragic death in one of the most notorious crimes of the twentieth century, Sharon Tate: Recollection is a stunningly gorgeous tribute to her life.

EVENT UPDATE: MIDNIGHT AT NOON (AND OTHER STORIES) EXHIBITION .. DAVID DOWNTON ..CLARIDGES LONDON .. SEPTEMBER 13TH TO 18TH..

JOAN COLLINS

‘A storm force of glamour and allure, Miss Joan Collins posed in a robe and a couple of million pounds’ worth of jewellery. (“You have great shoulders, Joan.” “I know!”) A minor panic when no safety pin to secure her turban could be found was the only flash point.’

 Claridge's is to host an exhibition of David's Downton's fashion illustrations to celebrate his role as the hotel's artist in residence. The showcase will run during London Fashion Week, from September 13 to 18, and will feature artwork that he has previously only shared exclusively with Vogue.co.uk.

Entitled Midnight at Noon (and Other Stories), the exhibit will feature Downton's sketches of some of the hotel's most famous and glamorous guests - including Diane von Furstenberg, Dita Von Teese, Alber Elbaz, Laura Bailey, Christian Louboutin, Joan Collins, Stephen Jones and Sir Paul Smith - in celebration of "iconic beauties, creatives and style icons", capturing the hotel's love affair with fashion.
"Being artist in residence at the most beautiful hotel in London has, as I've often said, been the gig of the century," said Downton. "I expected the luxury, of course, and the service, but who knew about the magic? Claridge's is Claridge's and everywhere else is everywhere else."
The exhibition will be held in the hotel's famed Fumoir bar - an Art Deco space designed by Basil Ionides in the Thirties-that Downton fondly refers to as his "office". Many of his subjects were sketched while sat at his favourite table in the bar.
"Over the years some of our most iconic guests have been captured on camera and we feel David's drawings add another dimension to the already established archives of Claridge's," said the hotel's general manager, Thomas Kochs. "David Downton has been a long-time friend of the hotel and we have admired his work for many years. It is a pleasure to share David's talent with our guests!

Brave Miss World

 

Year: 2013
Country: USA, ISRAEL
Run Time: 99 minutes

Linor Abargil, an Israeli beauty queen, was raped two months before being crowned Miss World in 1998. Ten years later, she’s ready to talk about it – and to encourage others to speak out. Now a globe-trotting victims’ advocate, Linor encourages people to stand against sexual violence by putting an end to their silence. She travels to speak with teens in South Africa, where girls are statistically more likely to be raped than educated. She visits Princeton and UC Santa Barbara, where women describe a campus culture that fails to take assaults seriously. From Cleveland’s Rape Crisis Center to Hollywood’s living rooms, Linor is met with emotional support. Yet when she attends a celebrity rape trial that hits too close to home, she suffers a breakdown. In searching for something to ease her pain, Linor turns to Orthodox Judaism. For victims of sexual assault, the journey toward wholeness never ends; still, Linor Abargil, the BRAVE MISS WORLD, continues her unflinching efforts to keep the nightmares at bay. (In English and Hebrew and Italian with subtitles)
