I recently won this on eBay and I'm so proud of it that I thought I'd show it off here
Inside is a 2 page article on DS plus 2 pages of on-set stills and behind the scenes shots.There's a 2 page article on Joan Bennet titled "SHE STARTED AS A BLONDE", a 1 page article on Clarice Blackburn, and a 1 page article on Frid. But what has to be my favorite, next to the beautiful cover of course, is a full-page feature that states:
'BE TAKEN TO DINNER BY ROGER DAVIS
Someone is going to have dinner with Roger Davis! Someone will be taken to an elegant New York City restaurant by one of the grooviest soap stars around. Roger and his date will spend a good part of the evening talking seriously about the Soaps - how the shows are produced, how actors and actresses get to be on the shows, and a good part of the evening laughing (becaus Roger has a great sense of humor).
A delicious dinner, candlelight and wine, and delightful company are only part of the fun. Photos of Roger and his date (you, you and your husband, you and your boyfriend, if you wish) will appear in the next issue of "After-noon TV."
We've chosen Roger because we feel he's the ideal date. He's warm, fun, handsome, a bachelor, very enthusiastic about the Soaps,(and about "Dark Shadows," the show he's on), and very anxious to meet an equally enthusiastic Soap Opera-watcher.
Now to the contest. If you
are an avid Soap watcher, chances are you have a favorite show and we'd like to know about it (it does not have to be "Dark Shadows"). Just tell us in a few sentences about the show you wouldn't miss for anything in the world. Selection of winner will be based on originality and content. Remember, you don't have to be a great writer to have a good reason to love a certain Soap Opera.'
Then there's an "application" you can fill out and send in with your name and address, and a space to fill in that says:
"My favorite show is.............because................................................................................."
