It’s safe to say that as she reaches her 90s, her most glamorous and showy days are behind her, but that doesn’t mean she’s stopped having fun and flaunting her body confidence.
Many ‘new’ stars might learn a thing or two from Joan Collins in terms of grace, composure, and self-discipline. What a life she has led and continues to lead!
The English actress from Paddington, London, is best known for her role as Alexis Carrington Colby in the soap opera Dynasty.
Dynasty made Joan a global star, and it was the most-watched television show in the country in 1984. At the time, she was paid $15,000 per episode. Every week, about 21 million homes tuned in to see what her self-centered and crafty persona would come up with.
She was television’s first powerful lady. I received a lot of flak for it. She’s such a ballbreaker, a vixen, and a snob! “I was just trying to defend myself as a strong, independent woman,” Joan told CBS in 2019.
Collins is still working in the entertainment industry nearly 70 years after her first on-screen appearance.
She appeared in Tomorrow Morning and The Gentle Sex in 2022, according to Wikipedia, and another film called In Bed with the Duchess is currently in production.
She also makes great use of social media.
Storms brought unusually cold weather to much of the United States last month, but for Joan Collins, it was all about the heat.
According to insiders, the iconic actress used the holiday season to share a photo of herself practically sizzling next to her 57-year-old husband, Percy Gibson.
I was able to swim and eat at the same time thanks to Adam and Evie Bricusse and 82°F in Beverly Hills.
Collins’ stylish leopard print swimsuit drew a lot of attention from onlookers. Despite her advanced age, the actress was absolutely dazzling.
Collins has been married five times in total. Her first marriage, to actor Maxwell Reed, lasted four years. Her second marriage was to Anthony Newley, a singer-songwriter. She then married billionaire Ronald S. Kass, who was succeeded by Swedish pop singer Peter Holm.
“I have some regrets about my marriages; I made that mistake far too often.” I was a moron. I don’t regret any of my choices since I have two wonderful children from my marriage to Tony [Newley] and one beautiful daughter from my marriage to Ron [Kass]. Joan admitted last year, “I genuinely regret marrying the Swede [Peter Holm].”
Collins claimed to have formed the strongest bond with Percy. During the pandemic, she revealed their relationship.
Being in lockdown has made me realize how strong our tie is, she said. I enjoy entertaining guests at the villa, going on vacation, and mingling with others. However, due to the limitations, Percy and I are now the only ones left. It’s incredible that we’re criminal accomplices.
Regardless of what anyone says, Joan Collins is a legend and an icon, and she still looks amazing for her age.
