Regardless of the measurement you use, Joan Collins is a living legend
She has undoubtedly passed her most glitzy, flashy years as she nears the 90s, but that doesn’t mean she has stopped having fun and flaunting her body confidence.
In terms of grace, poise, and self-control, many “new” superstars could learn a thing or two from Joan Collins. What a life she has led—and is leading—is amazing.
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 icon, and in 1984 it was the most watched television show in the nation. At the time, her episode pay was $15,000. There were roughly 21 million homes that watched each episode to see what her selfish and cunning character would come up with.
The first influential woman on television, she was. For that, I received a lot of flak. I was just defending myself as a strong, independent woman, you know, as she is such a ballbreaker, such a vixen, and so snobbish,” Joan told CBS in 2019.
Surprisingly, Collins is still employed in the entertainment industry nearly 70 years after her first screen appearance.
