What a sadness, MM. Thank you for the information. :-(

Was the scene of her changing in front of the mirror ever released with outtakes too? Thank you.

Yeah, I was surprised to see that this is the original camera master, not the VHS edit that we're used to. You can hear Joyce getting some basic direction on what to do, and occasionally hear her speak, which you never do on the actual Score video.

I never got the "Score Classics" DVD that features the Joyce/Alexis footage from "Alexis In London" aka "Alexis Love Story". Is this how the footage appears on that DVD, or was this a web exclusive? In any event, it's great to get the extra footage!

Thank you for the preview pics!

still as gorgeous as ever. Ms Gibson is truly a goddess here on Earth. She should still model for Scoreland. I hope they bring her back, as well as other great classic models. I'm sure they still "have it".

She's not coming back. She passed away 13 October 2016.

A memorial video is posted here:

Such a shame that she died from stage 4 pancreatic cancer. I wondered why Joyce's doctors never notice it until it was too late as it could had been prevented at stage 1. It's sad that Joyce's cancer wasn't caught early...

Pancreatic cancer is a bad one in that it rarely presents symptoms in the early stages. By the time symptoms appear and the diagnosis is made it's often too late.

That's true. The very same cancer claimed the life of Richard Hatch last year. He showed no signs of the disease until it was too late. In 1999, he made a demo of Battlestar Galactica to the heads of Universal Studios. The demo was to had continued from where the first season of the original series left off. Too bad Universal turned it down in favor of the reimagined version that no one talks about. I never saw a single episode of the reimagined Battlestar Galactica. Had Universal had given the Green Light on Richard Hatch's version, I would had watched the new series.

Here is a wikipedia link.

Richard died four months after Joyce's death. Two of the greatest entertainers go so soon...

I don't have a dog in the fight for either series, but it's not true that no one talks about the newer version. The original has at best a cult following. The new one was repeatedly discussed as being not just the best sci-fi show on tv at the time, but one of the best dramas. It's very highly regarded among sci-fi fans.
